Here are three playful ways to say it for a 6-year-old:
- An agama wears a bumpy superhero suit that stops water from slipping out and keeps the sun from tickling its skin.
- Its scaly coat is like a tiny waterproof jacket that also gives it cool shade from the hot sun.
- Think of its scales as a sparkly umbrella and floaty all in one — they keep the agua inside and block the sun's bright beams.
