Voted 10/10 | . . . a good shot of a chuckwalla (Sauromalus obesus). They usually scamper away pretty quick. Nice job! I've seen them in the Grand Canyon, but not yet in Red Rock. | | Posted Oct 13, 2006 10:01 pm |
| lisae | Thanks! | | 
Hasn't voted | It was a warmish day, so he was moving relatively slowly. This was the best of about 5 pictures.
I didn't recognize it as a chuckwalla. The ones I've seen in Joshua Tree look a bit different, and were usually hanging out in cracks. Very funny to be cimbing a route and come accross one. | | Posted Oct 13, 2006 10:25 pm |
| lcarreau | Perfect specimen! | |
