Need some help? Here are a few clues:
- This is a small, arboreal lizard residing locally, often in mesquite trees.
- They have a long tail used for balance out among the branch tips of trees and bushes where this lizard forages for ants, beetles, and other insects.
Scroll down for the answer!
It's a Long-tailed Brush Lizard (Urosaurus graciosus)!
This individual is portrayed in a Velvet Mesquite Tree (Prosopis velutina).
