Agamas
There are several Agamas recorded from
this area, but other than around Gede none have been
seen in Watamu for some years now. They are fast moving,
agile lizards that can be distinguished by the very
brightly coloured dominant males in each colony and the
habit they have of bopping up and down the head. They
are daytime animals that actively hunt for their insect
food. The more common ones in the area would be The
Blue-Headed Tree AgamaAcanthocerus atricollis,
The Black-Necked Tree AgamaAcanthocerus
atricollis, and The Red-Headed Rock AgamaAgama agama.
