<html> <p>Hello steemians,</p> <p>I thought to present to you a few pictures I had taken in the Greek island of Ikaria that display a kind of lizard which there is being called by the name of Korkofylas.</p> <p>https://image.ibb.co/ggwie6/000034.jpg</p> <p>The species is called Laudakia (Agama) stellio daani. Total length up to 30cm along with the tail that is about as long as the body. Diurnal lizard that likes to lie in the sun pretty much. It prefers stony and dry habitats. It is hiding in rock cracks or stone boundary walls if it gets scared and climbs skilfully in rocks and trees. It feeds mainly on invertebrates but also on small lizards and plant foods. It mates twice a year and females give birth to 6-10 eggs each time. In many regions it is wrongly believed to be poisonous and dangerous. Completely harmless and cowardly reptile. Reference: http://www.herpetofauna.gr/index.php?module=cats&page=read&id=85</p> <p>It is said to be a cross-breed between a lizard and a crocodile.</p> <p>https://image.ibb.co/nt0QC6/14159672_10208086219128197_1213336065_n.jpg</p> <p>Hiding</p> <p>https://image.ibb.co/bGwKmm/14169668_10208086241448755_2010473619_n.jpg</p> <p>Barely separating it from the stone steps on the left side</p> <p>https://image.ibb.co/e290sR/14171999_10208086234928592_1097054142_n.jpg</p> <p>Loves the daylight and the sun</p> <p>https://image.ibb.co/iCi76m/14182302_10208086235168598_663844235_n.jpg</p> <p>https://image.ibb.co/dHuEmm/14218175_10208086235208599_986077650_n.jpg</p> <p>You can have a look at a post I had made about the island here: https://steemit.com/travel/@hellene8/voyage-to-ikaria-island-greece</p> <p> !steemitworldmap 37.631618 lat 26.163392 long description d3scr </p> <p>Thank you for your time, please comment and/or upvote if you liked this post.</p> <p>Kind regards.</p> </html>
