Some animals get a lot of descriptors in their name. This is one of them — the blue-eyed anglehead lizard. Apparently the mature males develop brilliant blue eyes as they get older. This one must be a female or young male. Either way, a cool sighting while I was hiking on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/50th of a second.

Yes he’s cool but he doesn’t have brilliant blue eyes!
Nice composition, Sean!
