Red-headed agama — size comparison — facts and sources

The red-headed agama (Agama agama) inhabits open African habitats with sheltered hiding places. Contrasting colours are particularly pronounced in dominant males.

Raised stones and other supports provide lookout points and sites for signalling to other individuals. Daily activity begins with basking. It may watch for insects from a perch, then run to capture spotted prey.

It chiefly eats ants, termites, beetles and orthopterans. Head movements and body posture communicate and repel rivals. Females lay eggs.
