A Flat-tailed Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii) in its sandy desert home I saw this lizard and a few others by tagging along with the manager of the Coachella Valley Preserve one morning. He could recognize the tracks of this species and follow them to the lizards.

The Flat-tailed Horned Lizard

The Flat-tailed Horned Lizard is a reptile of the Sonoran desert of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Its multiple adaptations for camouflage help to minimise its shadow. The species is threatened, with a restricted range under pressure from human activities such as agriculture and development, and is specially protected in the United States.
