Hydrosaurus microlophus (Bleeker, 1860)
|
The Indonesian giant sailfin dragon (Hydrosaurus microlophus) is a species of agamid native to South Sulawesi Indonesia.[1] It is the heaviest and longest species of sailfin lizard, making it the largest of all the Agamidae.[citation needed] It is often mistaken for H. amboinensis[by whom?] because of the incorrect information of Hydrosaurus amboinensis being the largest of the sailfin dragons.[2]
Reproduction
[edit]H. microlophus is oviparous.
