They are known for their striking colouring, which includes ocelli (round spots) on their dorsum. These lizards can be territorial and display defensive behaviour when threatened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eating Habits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ocellated lizards feed mainly on insects, spiders, small invertebrates and occasionally fruits and vegetation. They are agile hunters and often stalk their prey before catching them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reproduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reproduction of ocellated lizards generally occurs in spring and early summer. Females lay eggs in nests dug in the ground.
