Agamids are a family of lizards known as Agamidae, found primarily in Africa, Asia, and Australia. They are characterized by their distinctive body shapes, which can vary from slender to robust, and often have colorful patterns. Agamids are typically diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and they often bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature. These lizards are known for their diverse habitats, ranging from deserts to forests. Many species exhibit unique behaviors, such as head-bobbing and push-ups, which are used for communication and territorial displays. Some well-known agamids include the bearded dragon and the flying dragon.
