This lazy lizard looks like he hasn't a care in the world as he chills out for a photoshoot. Photographer Roni Hendrawan snapped the camera-happy critter as it leant against a branch and even drifted off to sleep. He managed to get the lizard, called a chameleon forest dragon, to pose for him after giving it treats and getting it to relax. The lizard, which belongs to a friend of Roni's, was captured in the photo in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It appears to have a much larger and greener head than the rest of its body, but according to Roni this is normal in chameleon forest dragons. Roni, 22, said: "Before i got the lizard to pose for me i had to spoil it for a while so it became very lazy. "I laughed when it posed like a human. I thought that the lizard was posing like a famous model". (credit:Roni Hendrawan/Solent News/REX)
