This one is from across the pond. Found the sucker on the isle of Capri, off the Amalfi coast of Italy. It was being chased by a cat into some shrubs, and it looks like its had an encounter before.. What do you suppose it is. There were quite a few on the cliffs, Ive enclosed a pic that shows the area where he was found.

Podarcis wagleriana or a variation of that specie....
It a type of wall lizard...Found in and around Italy
Best guess.

Beautiful habitat and lizard. Looks like some sort of Ameiva. I'm not really up on the species, but it's one of the few lizards I find really interesting.

Lacerta sp. is the best I can do, sorry.
A Wall lizard maybe?

Looks very much like a Podarcus Sicularis to me. Italian Wall Lizards... they're found all over Long Island, NY. I find them all the time. They're the most common reptile on Long Island.
