Field Notes

Description:

Sadly I never learned lizard species when I was out there working. This is the species I'm told it is...which I probably should have known, having seen them all the time in southwestern Utah.

Habitat:

southern California, in the "badlands" desert area.

S Frazier- ha, yeah I saw those all the time in Utah..I should've connected it. I always had trouble picking out a distinct trait on them.
