The Indonesian giant sailfin dragon (Hydrosaurus microlophus) is a species of agamid native to South Sulawesi, Indonesia.[1] It is the heaviest and longest species of sailfin lizard, making it the largest of all the Agamidae.[citation needed] It is often mistaken for H. amboinensis because of the incorrect information of H. amboinensis being the largest of the sailfin dragons.[2]

Reproduction
