Native Region/Habitat

Peninsular Malaysia, Southern Thailand (which includes larger islands like Penang and Tioman), Sumatra (which includes the Mentawai Islands), and Borneo are all home to the Great Anglehead Lizard. There are also reports of a distinct population in southern Vietnam and Laos.

Behavior:

These arboreal lizards are quick to dip into water to flee danger since they inhabit riparian settings. They are watchful and swiftly moving during the day, but at night, they sleep in vegetation like many other diurnal rainforest lizards, making them quite simple to locate and approach.
