The Real Hero
I need help identifying this lizard. It was curious why we were removing the shade and fixtures of it's home under the creosote bush. This is the real hero. It has endured much in its lifetime, including human garbage deposition and removal. Harsh prolinged drought is very real for this reptile, and yet it survives even with its tail removed from some altercation. This and one more were the only only lizards we saw on March 4th. It is still too cold, but it is finally RAINING!
