As a casual naturalist, one thing I've stopped doing is using place-based names for animals which helps recognize non-human species with their own unique identity.
This is the Changeable Lizard — known for its ability to shift its skin color to match its environment.
Previously known as:
- Oriental Garden Lizard
- Indian Garden Lizard
- Asian Ground Lizard
Isn't Changeable Lizard just a straight up better name?
