Whiptail lizards, named for their long, whiplike tails, are constantly in motion. They often run upright on their hind legs, giving them the appearance of miniature dinosaurs. They swivel their heads frequently from side to side to taste the air with slender forked tongues and use their pointed snouts to probe the ground as they forage for termites, spiders, and other ground-dwelling insects.
The all female New Mexico Whiptail reproduces by cloning - its eggs require no fertilisation by a male, and its offspring are exact and complete genetic duplicates of the mother.
She is the official state reptile of New Mexico.
