The greater earless lizard

The greater earless lizard is a species of earless lizard endemic to the southwestern United States. It is called "greater" because it grows larger than the earless lizards of the genus ''Holbrookia'', to which it is closely related. While ''C. texanus'' is the only species within its genus, it does have two subspecies.
