When the lizards feel threatened by a predator, they dive underwater and produce a bubble over their heads to breathe.
Tiny Hats of Air Could Give 'Scuba-Diving' Lizards a Fighting Chance
Little lizards that wear snout bubbles underwater really do seem to be using them as tiny scuba tanks. Water anoles (Anolis aquaticus) made headlines a few years ago when they were caught proudly holding onto shiny pockets of air while submerged in their Costa Rican streams.
