Caiman Lizard
Phoenix, AZ - Wildlife World Zoo - The genus Dracaena (romanized form of the Ancient Greek δράκαινα - drakaina, "female dragon"), also called Caiman Lizards or water tegu, is in the teiid family, along with tegus and ameivas. Caiman Lizards are found in South America in Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru and Brazil. These semiaquatic lizards spend a lot of time in the water and inhabit marshes, streams and flooded forests. Caiman Lizards often bask on branches overhanging the water. [Wiki]
