Convinced that it would be protected by crypsis, the baby horned lizard remained motionless in the dusty road near the Grand Canyon.

On my semi secret insect hunting ground! There's lots of 2 ft x 2 ft square tarpaulin mats laying around with a label saying..reptile survey going on.
Going back too the ground several times now, it seems there's an abundant of Lizards, Snakes, and Slowworms.
Had a bit of a test of wills with this little Lizard, it was sunning itself on one of the mats and would scamper back into the long grass each time I got near.
Not sure laying in the long wet grass, with bits of dead rabbit, and poo, was worth it! ;-)

Eidechse am Wegrand, geniesst genauso wie wir die warmen Sonnenstrahlen.
Unterbrechung der Ungarn-Reise-Fotos für die Ergebnisse der heutigen Ausgang mit dem Hund, gefallen mir selbst zu gut um sie bis nach den Ferien wegzusperren ; )

Lizard on the wayside, just as we enjoy the warm sunshine.
Interruption of the Hungary-travel-photos for the results of today's output from the dog-walk, like them too well to lock away it until after the holidays; )

Large adult male Collared Lizard in Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. This is the state lizard of Oklahoma and they are also known as "Mountain Boomers". I have always wanted to see one of these, and by the end of the second day I had seen at least a dozen individuals. The "Dog Run Hollow" trail is an eight mile circuit that starts at French Lake, and it was on that trail where I saw this lizard. Crotaphytus collaris
Sirmione at the Garda lake, Italy. A lot of lizards crawling around. This one was about 15cm long i think, and was climbing up a wall. I just managed to take this close-up before it ran away.
This Eastern Glass Lizard was missing the end of its tail. When attacked the fragile tail breaks into pieces like glass shattering, thus the name. Each piece continues to move which distracts the predator allowing the lizard to scurry away. It will take over a year to grow a new tail. Cape Point, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Dare County, North Carolina.

Descripción
Descripción científica
Como todos los ánguidos, estas son lagartijas muy atenuadas de miembros muy cortos. No tienen poros femorales. Los adultos de C. hylaius llegan a medir hasta 107 mm de H-C. La cola es casi el doble de larga que el resto del cuerpo. La cabeza es ancha, comprimida dorsalmente; el hocico es puntiagudo desde un plano dorsal. La cabeza se distingue del cuello.
No existe pliegue gular. La abertura óptica es más pequeña que el ojo. La superficie dorsal de la cabeza está cubierta por placas simétricas agrandadas. El resto del cuerpo está cubierto por escamas cicloideas lisas y brillantes del mismo tamaño.
El color de fondo dorsal es café bronceado con numerosas escamas negras irregularmente dipuestas sobre el cuello, tronco y cola. El dorso de la cabeza es café bronceado; la punta del hocico es verde oliva. Las supralabiales y suboculares son de color amarillo verdoso brillante.

This guy was perfectly posed for a picture but I didn't have the camera. I went in and got it only to get one chance at a photo.
There were lots of lizards sunning themselves at the edges of the boardwalk - really tiny ones, medium ones and the largest I saw was about the length of my index finger. Quite sensitive to noise - several got this alert look when I released the shutter.
I found this beautiful lizard in Botanic Garden in Canberra and I had a chance to capture this shot.
