    Your first species intro, and a beautiful one it is!

    Note: please also set the country on photos, using the "set country" button. I've done it for you for this photo already.     Posted 7 years ago

        Stephen, it turns out this was actually not a species intro, as this photo was earlier:
        Greater Earless Lizard Kind enough to pose with a lovely mountainside background. This was taken on the Grapevine Hills Trail at Big Bend NP. Cophosaurus texanus,greater earless lizard


        Therefore, it is also not a country intro. Sorry for the confusion!         Posted 7 years ago

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.
