Description
Chalarodon madagascariensis is a species of Malagasy terrestrial iguanian lizard native to western, southern, and south eastern Madagascar. Until 2015, it was thought to be the only member of its genus, but a second species, C. steinkampi was recognised in 2015. It is not yet clear if the distributional range of these two species overlaps.

Appearance
Three-eyed lizard is a relatively small lizard, with a short, slender body covered in rough, pebbly skin. Its main coloration is a grassy green that blends well in many of its habitats. It doesn't bear horns or wings but has a long, thin tail. Males generally exhibit bright contrasting throat colors, specifically during breeding seasons, unlike the somewhat dull-colored females. Juveniles closely mirror adult colors and patterns as they mature.
Behavior
Three-eyed lizard exhibits unique traits such as only building a nest when breeding, which occurs throughout the year. Three-eyed lizard spends their day on the ground, foraging for insects. They are territorial, defending their area through bouts of exhibition displays and physical combat. Three-eyed lizard are solitary, except during the breeding season.
