Tennent's leaf-nosed lizard - Ceratophora tennentii: More Information - ARKive |
 | | Tennent's leaf-nosed lizard is one of five Ceratophora species endemic to Sri Lanka, commonly known as ‘horn-nosed lizards' or ‘horned lizards' for the elongated projections the males possess at the tip of their snout. |
 | | Even the Latin name Ceratophora means ‘horn-bearer', referring to this unusual ornamentation (3). |
