Lovely Whiptail !Great! This is the most abundant lizard, that we see here in Arizona. Above 5000 ft., we see
the Plateau Whiptail. (The latter has a light
blue tail.) They're hiding right now, but suddenly appear in late Spring. They are really amazing to watch, especially when they dart across the roads, and do "push-ups" over sandy stretches of the Sonoran desert. Thanks, Anya!!! !!! Awesome.

Re: Lovely Whiptail !Thanks. Interesting what you say... I cannot say they are the most abundant here, but they are not that rare either. Kind of in between. They have eluded me so many times. Amazing runners! Cheers.

Just to add,extreme heat doesn't seem to bother
them. I've seen them on the hottest
days of summer. One way they stay
cool is to run across the desert;
at the same time raising their fore
legs and standing upright, like
miniature dinosaurs. Thank you!!!

Re: Just to add,Wow, that would be a great pose to photograph. I have never seen them do that. Thanks.
