Green-Crested Lizard Changes Colour!

What looks like last week’s Halloween trick or treat is nothing short of nature’s wonderful ways of language.

Green-crested lizards are known to turn to darker shades during their courtship behaviour, but also when they are stressed. Here is one who fell into the sink at the Volunteer Lounge, turning back to green in less than 2 minutes before scurrying off.

Did this lizard feel fear and express stress? If we do not speak their language, can we conclude that they don’t feel?
