Viviparous Lizard
I spotted this Viviparous Lizard on the shelfs of one of the wooden paths in the swamps of the Belgian national park ‘Hohes Venn’, while taken a sunbath to reach its optimum body temperature, which is about 30°C.
This extreme shy reptile is a typical inhabitant of swamps and damp forests.
The name of the species is derived from its ability to give birth to live young where reptiles are commonly oviparous (egg-laying).
Dutch name : Levendbarende Hagedis
German name : Waldeidechse
Latin name : Zootoca vivipara

Very interesting information about this interesting lizard/ Great shot too. I'm a little curious. Does it mean that they actually have soft eggs that stay and are hatched in their bodies?Deryck

Super hast du die Eidechse erwischt!!Vor allem, der gebogene Schwanz gibt dem Bild etwas ganz besonderes.
