When he appeared from literally nowhere - we all froze... the movement I dared make was to take this pic..
One of the most frequently seen lizards at Pipe Spring. Desert Spiny lizards perch on tree trunks, rocks and fences, waiting for ants, beetles, and other prey. They can be seen basking on Pipe Spring’s walkways as well. They are thick-bodied lizards and have a dark, wedge shaped marking at their neck
Santa Catalina Mts., Pima Co., Arizona - Largest adult I've seen (snout-vent length ~ 5 inches) probably end of 3rd year with stripes almost completely disintegrated and they will be if it lives another year, BUT just as I finished photographing it, a Sonoran Whipsnake streaked out of the brush and attacked. Lucky for Burtty, the snake wasn't quite big enough to land him and Burtty got away.
We ran across several of these big lizards (they were a few feet long). Apparently they love ombú fruit.
I know he looks like Godzilla, but he's only about 8 inches long. It's too bad you can't see his blue underbelly. We have a lot of these guys around our house.
The first time I saw this lizard on the bridge, it was dark brown, but by the time it had crossed the bridge, its skin had turned a beautiful gold and azure colour.
