Desert Creatures
This medium-sized lizard was sunning on a rock. He let me get close enough to see that he’d had some kind of injury to his nose. But he was still workin’ his blue belly. He got up on a rock and started doing herky jerky push-ups to show it off.
Pizza delivery! I’ll take that. Thanks. Don’t know if the ant deliverygirl was part of the meal or not. You can see a hint of his turquoise blue belly in this shot.
After poring over my old reptile guide, I think he’s a Southwestern earless lizard Holbrookia texana scitula.
Me and Russell, coming back down the rock. We didn’t climb that straight up and down part. Just the flanks, thanks. Photo by Barbara Samuelson.
