Lizards Part Five

                            

Okay, back to lizards: The top photo is the Great Basin Collard Lizard. It was taken in the Florida Mountains of Southeast New Mexico. The Collard Lizard, unlike most other lizards, cannot cast off and regenerates its tail. Another peculiarity of the Great Basin Collard Lizard is that it runs on its hind legs (with forelegs off the ground). The second photo appears to be a Crevice Spiny Lizard. (No confirmation on that). It was taken in Tucson Mountain Park. The third photo is the Yarrow's Spiny Lizard. It was taken in the Chiricahua Mountains. Yarrow's Spiny Lizard winters in crevices of rocks as opposed to many other lizards that live  underground during the winter.
