Urosaurus Ornatus


Tonight, I went out to move Molly's car so I could put my Harley in the garage and I saw something small run from under the car to a bush in the front yard. I assumed it was a scorpion, so I started to look for it. Then I saw that it was actually a lizard - living right out in the wild. My attempt to catch it with my bare hands failed. Les Stroud would be disappointed in me. So, I guess it's a good thing I didn't have to depend on my hunting skills for my supper.

Anyway, my guess is that it was an Ornate Tree Lizard, apparently common in Arizona.
