Dalmatian Wall Lizard

Description:

The Dalmatian Wall Lizard (Podarcis melisellensis) is very variable in pattern and colouration and can be very similar to the Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis siculus)
The latter one is bigger and has a bigger head with a pointed snout.
Podarcis melisellensis lives often near the coast on karstified rocks as well as on meadows or scrubs and, in the southern part of its range, even in forests.
