One of, if not Arizona’s exclusive contender for the most beautiful lizard. It’s tough to compare to the colors of an Eastern Collared Lizard. When I first encountered him, this collared lizard was basking in a far less flattering perch. Following my approach, he actually ran closer, choosing this lovely little vista.
