The water agama is a large green lizard that lives near water in the forests of Southeast Asia. It swims excellently, can stay underwater for several minutes, and runs quickly on the ground and branches.
The water agama differs from other lizards by its ability to swim excellently and stay in water for a long time. It helps nature by eating a large number of insects and serving as food for snakes and birds.
