Blue lizard, geko - Faraglioni, Capri, Italy Tea Towel

This design features a stylized blue lizard (Lacerta viridens faraglionesis) an endemic lizard to Scopolo, one of the Faraglioni Stacks on the island of Capri. Noteworthy characteristics are its bright blue scales and its habitat, which is restricted to the Faraglioni stacks and the Monacone stump. A fine example of animal camouflage, its color makes the lizard both less visible and less appetizing to predators. The design on this towel reminds also everyone how many animal species are endangered!
