Sailfin Lizard

Hydrosaurus amboinensis

Classification

Family
Agamidae

The Moluccan sail-finned lizard or Ambon sailfin dragon (Hydrosaurus amboinensis) is a large agamid lizard native to Moluccas or Maluku Islands in Indonesia, growing to about one metre (3. 3 ft) in length. It is often confused for being the largest of the sailfin dragons, but that title belongs to Hydrosaurus microlophus, with the second-largest of the sailfin dragons being Hydrosaurus celebensis.
