A 'Lizard in Society' Update

A word from your ever diligent Hopeful Herpetologist,

I doubt many people look at "The Lizard in Society" page more than once so you may not know that I continuously update it whenever I find/remember new content. So here's what's new, enjoy!

(I had no idea just how many lizards there were in this movie until i had to look at the cast list. 
4 lizards! I'm pretty sure that is the largest number of lizards in one movie I have ever seen).

 the desert and uses his unique wit to survive. 

Same family of lizards as Pascal from Tangled

A word from your ever diligent Hopeful Herpetologist,

Hello all, this is just a heads up that I have a YouTube channel with some desert fiasco and lizard related videos for those who are interested.

Sorry about the music, I just couldn't resist.

About the video:

One of the defense mechanisms for desert horned lizards is to tilt onto one side to make themselves look too big to eat, they also camouflage themselves under the sand while they sleep to hide from predators.

 This horned lizard has a red and yellow radio transmitter glued to her back that allows researchers to find her and study her movement throughout the day. Both lizards have paint markings, which makes it easier for researchers to find and identify previously captured individuals. It looks like the leopard lizard that tries to take a bite out of her got a taste of the paint and didn't seem to like it much. 

Personally, I think his eyes were a bit too big for his stomach, he'd have a heck of a time trying to swallow her.
