The Pinocchio lizard is a zoological mystery. It is not the only horned anole (Brazil also has one) but it is the most famous, perhaps owing to its memorable moniker. Yet despite its fame, nobody knows very much about this unique species. Until a decade ago, nobody even knew it was still alive..

Tried to get a different approach to this specimen, something fresh and never seen before by using a wide angle lens ;)
Hope you like it!

October 2020 Ecuador Workshop is full, drop me a line if you are interested in organizing another one in November (max 2 spots as usual).

Very nice. Perspective worked perfectly for this odd little guy.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Is the "nose" prehensile, can they use it to hold wiggling prey in their mouth? Or scoop food toward their mouth?

Great photo.

Wonderful capture.

Those probe lenses are pricy but make wide angle with lighting possible.

What was the lighting solution here?
