Common Collared Lizard
(Crotaphytus collaris)
While visiting the caverns, keep your eyes out for the common collared lizard! It is a beautifully colored North American lizard that can reach 8–14 inches (20–36 cm) in length (including the tail), with a large head and powerful jaws. They are well known for the ability to run on their hind legs, looking like small dinosaurs. They love warm weather and often bask in the desert sun!
