The Family Agamidae consists of lizards commonly called agamas, with over 300 species distributed across Africa, Asia, and Australia. They are typically diurnal, terrestrial, or arboreal reptiles that thrive in warm, arid, and tropical habitats. Agamids are recognized for their well-developed limbs, acrodont dentition (teeth fused to the jawbone), and in many species, the ability to display bright colors during social interactions or mating. Some exhibit striking adaptations, such as crests, frills, or dewlaps, used in communication and territorial displays. Unlike some other lizard families, most agamids cannot regenerate lost tails. Ecologically, they are important insectivores and omnivores, contributing to pest control and serving as prey for larger predators.
