The blue-crested lizard, or Indo Chinese forest lizard, is a species of agamid lizard found throughout mainland Southeast Asia. It is known for its bright blue coloration and distinctive crest along its back. These lizards are primarily carnivorous, feeding on insects, small amphibians, and other lizards. They are also known for their territorial behavior, with males engaging in aggressive displays and combats to defend their territory.
