Agama-sitana Sitana ponticeriana stands out against the background of its relatives with a spectacular throat "flag" painted in three colors at once – blue, black and red, but this effect appears only during the mating period. The rest of the time, the neck bag has a matte white color.
In a calm state, the agama-sitana looks like a quite ordinary iguana, and the tricolor fold of skin under her neck swells in special cases. For example, when a lizard is scared, communicates with neighbors, or tries to impress a future partner during the mating season.
Agamas-sitans live in not too dense forests and in open spaces, most often rocky or rocky, with vegetation breaking through in some places. Their homeland is India, Sri Lanka and the eastern regions of Pakistan.
The most active time for these agile lizards is early morning, when they go hunting ants, midges, grasshoppers and other insects.
