EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frederick William Bond in 1928 at the London Zoo, showcases a remarkable moment in nature. The subject of this image is an intriguing Sailfin Lizard, with its damaged tail visibly resting on a sturdy log. The lizard's full-length profile allows us to appreciate its unique features and vulnerable state. Its sail-like fin, characteristic of the Philippine Sail Finned Lizard species, stands out against the backdrop of the textured bark. This delicate creature belongs to the Agamidae family and goes by its scientific name Hydrosaurus pustulatus. Despite enduring damage to its tail, this resilient reptile exudes a sense of tranquility as it finds solace upon the log. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in capturing a mesmerizing moment but also in preserving our understanding of these creatures from almost a century ago. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography brings forth an appreciation for both artistry and zoology. As we delve into this monochromatic masterpiece, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and conserve these magnificent beings that share our world.
