Calling for love
Sarada darwini (Darwin's large fan-throated lizard)
This species is found in the grasslands and cotton fields of south Maharashtra and north Karnataka, at an altitude ranging from 1804 to 2231 feet (550 to 680 m) above sea level.
It lives in deep underground crevices and can be seen basking on tufts of grass, twigs, rocks and mounds, sometimes in pairs.
Breeding takes place in May and the newly-hatched young emerge in October.
