EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Sri Lanka, this photograph showcases a vibrant lizard species basking on the leaves of a fern. The intricately patterned reptile, a member of the Squamata order, is a native inhabitant of this diverse Asian country, formerly known as Ceylon. The lizard's habitat is teeming with life, with the fern providing a perfect cover for this scaled creature. Ferns, classified under the Pteridophyta division, are ancient non-flowering plants that thrive in moist environments, making them a common sight in the tropical rainforests of Sri Lanka. This lizard belongs to the Lacertilia infraorder, a group of reptiles characterized by their long, limbless tails and ability to move their eyelids. The lizard's taxonomic classification includes the Sauropsida superclass, the Diapsida subclass, and the Lepidosauria clade. The presence of this lizard in its natural habitat is a testament to the rich biodiversity of Sri Lanka, home to a myriad of unique species. The Polypodiophyta division, which includes ferns, is also a significant contributor to the island's diverse flora. This photograph, captured by renowned wildlife photographer Harry Taylor, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Sri Lanka's reptiles and the intricate relationship they share with their plant-filled habitats. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these fragile ecosystems and the creatures that call them home.
