Oh that’s a dune lizard! I’ve been wondering what these things running all over my place in Western Oklahoma were....only found in New Mexico and West Texas, LOL!
... described the dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus arenicolus) as a subspecies of the sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus). The dunes sagebrush lizard was elevated to a species in 1992 ...
Only a biologist using an DNA test could tell them apart. Like the spotted owls, they are close relatives of a non-endangered healthy species.
(BTW, the government proposes to save spotted owls in the northwest by KILLING their cousins, the barred owl. See this article and be astounded and upset at the what the have planned.
Spotted owl recovery plan calls for killing barred owls ... )
