A muscular lizard species of the Phrynosomatidae family, the desert spiny lizard (Sceloporus magister) is known for the patches on its belly and throat. The species is endemic to the Sonoran Desert and Chihuahuan Desert of North America.
An adult male desert spiny lizard possesses blue or violet patches on its belly and throat, while its tail and sides have green or blue spots. Unlike males, females and juveniles have large dark spots on their bellies and backs. The species is mostly found in yellow, orange, brown, or tan colors, and their average body length is around 3-5.6 in (7.6-14 cm). These lizards also have the ability of cryptic coloration and camouflage that helps them to blend with their surroundings. In winter, these lizards turn darker in order to absorb more heat from the sun. Did you know that these lizards even do push-ups to display their dominance?
