EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the summer of 1926 at London Zoo, where a magnificent creature known as the Common/Gold/Golden/Black/Columbian Tegu or Tiger Lizard was captured on film. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the incredible detail and beauty of this reptile. The lizard stands proudly in its enclosure, offering a side view that allows us to appreciate its full length. Its scales glisten under the sunlight, creating an intriguing contrast against its dark complexion. With its sleek body and powerful limbs, it exudes an air of strength and grace. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported to a time when such exotic creatures were rare sights for many. The Zoological Society of London played a crucial role in educating and fascinating visitors with these remarkable animals. Intriguingly named after both tigers and lizards, this particular species belongs to the Teiidae family. Its scientific name is Tupinambis teguixin but is commonly referred to as either Common or Golden Tegu. This photograph serves as a testament to the diversity found within our natural world. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still marvel at this stunning piece of history today. It reminds us of the importance of conservation and our responsibility towards protecting these unique creatures for future generations to enjoy.
