Meet the eastern fence lizard: The remarkable reptile that does push-ups, flashes bright blue and escapes by running around trees
Eastern fence lizards exhibit unique behaviors for survival and territory defense. These small reptiles use push-ups and head-bobbing displays to warn rivals. Spiny scales protect their bodies while they hunt insects twice daily. They escape predators by quickly running around tree trunks to hide. Eastern fence lizards bask in the sun and retreat to shelters at night.
