Hydrosaurus Pustulatus
The Philippine sailfin lizard (''Hydrosaurus pustulatus''), also known as crested lizard, sail-fin lizard, sailfin water lizard, soa-soa water lizard or its native name ''ibid'', is an oviparous lizard endemic to several of the islands that make up the Philippines and is also found in New Guinea and some parts of eastern Indonesia. The Philippine Sailfin Lizard is a protected species in its native country of the Philippines as it is a target for exotic pet collectors and sought after in the international pet trade. This is largely because these lizards have unique dorsal crests (otherwise known as sailfins) that give the organism a structure similar to a sail, and the Philippine sailfin lizard also has very bright coloration patterns that make them attractive to the eye. The pustulatus species is unique within the Hydrosaurus genus because of the confusion for the past several decades of classifying these organisms amongst other lizards within their same genus in their habitat.

Hydrosaurus Amboinensis
The Moluccan sail-finned lizard or Ambon sailfin dragon (''Hydrosaurus amboinensis'') is a large agamid lizard native to moluccas or maluku islands in indonesia, growing to about in length. It is often confused for being the largest of the sailfin dragons; however, that title belongs to '' Hydrosaurus microlophus'', with the second largest of the sailfin dragons being '' Hydrosaurus celebensis''. The Amboina sail-finned lizard is found in wooded habitats near water in New Guinea and the central Moluccas. Although it has been reported from the Philippines and Sulawesi, a genetic study has shown that all in the former country (even southern ones, which have caused confusion in the past) are Philippine sailfin lizards ''H. pustulatus'', while genetic and morphological studies have shown that individuals from the latter island belong to two separate species to which the names ''H. celebensis'' and ''H. microlophus'' are available.Cameron D. Siler, Andrés Lira-Noriega, Rafe M. Br ...

Hydrosaurus Celebensis
The Sulawesi black sailfin lizard (''Hydrosaurus celebensis'') is a species of agamid native to Indonesia Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of over 17,000 islands, including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and parts of Borneo and New Guine .... It is the second largest species of sailfin dragon, with only the Sulawesi giant sailfin dragon being larger., exceeding 1000 mm in total length, possibly 1200 mm. Head, neck, gular region and shoulder completely black; a row of enlarged flat, sometimes conical scales on either side of the neck; nuchal and dorsal crests continuous; a group of dirty white enlarged flat scales on the anterior part of the dorsum; few (<10) additional enlarged scales approximately at midbody and before the hindlimbs. Dorsal colouration is typically yellowish, sometimes dark orange, interspersed with black spots; ventrally beige, limbs black with a ...

Hydrosaurus Microlophus
The Indonesian giant sailfin dragon (''Hydrosaurus microlophus'') is a species of agamid native to South Sulawesi, south sulawesi Indonesia. It is the heaviest and longest species of sailfin lizard, making it the largest of all the Agamidae. It is often mistaken for Hydrosaurus amboinensis, its counterpart because of the incorrect information of ''Hydrosaurus Amboinensis'' being the largest of the sailfin dragons. Reproduction ''H. microlophus'' is oviparous. References

Agamidae
Agamidae is a family (biology), family of over 300 species of iguanian lizards indigenous to Africa, Asia, Australia, and a few in Southern Europe. Many species are commonly called dragons or dragon lizards. Overview phylogenetics, Phylogenetically, they may be sister to the Iguanidae, and have a similar appearance. Agamids usually have well-developed, strong legs. Their tails cannot be shed and regenerated like those of geckos (and several other families such as skinks), though a certain amount of regeneration is observed in some. Many agamid species are capable of limited change of their colours to regulate their body temperature. In some species, males are more brightly coloured than females, and colours play a part in signaling and reproductive behaviours. Although agamids generally inhabit warm environments, ranging from hot deserts to tropical rainforests, at least one species, the mountain dragon, is found in cooler regions. They are particularly diverse in Australia. T ...

Reptile Database
The Reptile Database is a scientific database that collects taxonomic information on all living reptile species (i.e. no fossil species such as dinosaurs). The database focuses on species (as opposed to higher ranks such as families) and has entries for all currently recognized ~13,000 species and their subspecies, although there is usually a lag time of up to a few months before newly described species become available online. The database collects scientific and common names, synonyms, literature references, distribution information, type information, etymology, and other taxonomically relevant information. History The database was founded in 1995 as EMBL Reptile Database when the founder, Peter Uetz, was a graduate student at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. Thure Etzold had developed the first web interface for the EMBL DNA sequence database which was also used as interface for the Reptile Database. In 2006 the database moved to The Insti ...
