Mobius Arch - Alabama Hills, CA
Alabama Hills in Sierra Nevada, close to the town of Lone Pine have been the ideal scenery for many cowboy movies, including those by John Wayne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_shot_in_Lone_Pine).
One natural formation there, is the Mobius Arch, that perfectly frames Mount Whitney in the background.

The common side-blotched lizard is a species of side-blotched lizard found on the Pacific Coast of North America. It is notable for having a unique form of polymorphism wherein each of the three different male morphs utilizes a different strategy in acquiring mates. The three morphs compete against each other following a pattern of rock, paper, scissors, where one morph has advantages over another but is outcompeted by the third.
