Maybe not quite as exciting at Great Horned Owls -- or Grizzly Bears, but nonetheless a nice photo, is the Greater Earless Lizard. Found in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and the north central Mexican states, the Greater Earless Lizard is diurnal, active both day and night. They spend their day foraging for insects or basking in the sun. However, if temperatures get above 111 degrees they head back underground. They are characterized by the lack of external ear openings, which is presumably to prevent sand from entering their body while they dig.
