Origin
The Guster (Lacerta viridis) is one of the most beautiful living creatures in our country.
It is also called the Emerald lizard and if we look at the pictures we immediately realize why.
Like any reptile, the Guster is a great sun lover who provides it with the necessary energy.
For this reason these lizards are present in greater numbers in the southern part of the country and especially in Dobrogea.
Food Guster
The insects form their basic food but do not return from other smaller lizard species.
Guster Features
The Guster is the largest lizard found in our country. It can reach a length of 40 cm of which more than half is represented by the tail.
The latter helps the Guster andagainst predators.
When it is attacked and cannot escape, it detaches its tail or pieces of it with which it manages to trick the Predators and thus buys enough time to shelter.Later the tail will regenerate.
The general color of the Guster is bright green with yellow shades. The tail is chestnut and the cheeks and goiter are azure blue.
Breeding Guster
Breeding is achieved by laying small and thin-shelled eggs at the shelter.
Parents do not take care of the nest or the chicks.
In winter they hibernate in hollows or rock crevices.
