Field Notes

Description:

A specimen of the Chinese crocodile lizard at the Tulsa Zoo. This lizard is rare and little-studied so I can't tell you much about it. It looks a lot like a dinosaur though.

Habitat:

Found only in cool forests in the Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou Provinces of southern China.
