Description
This Zebra-tailed lizard was photographed in Tucson, Arizona's Sonoran desert. They are the fastest lizards in the desert. They have a unique behavior of curling their tail over their back, thus revealing the striping, and then waving it slowly from side to side. The most widely accepted theory is that this lulls their predators like a hypnotist's watch, which prevents them from reacting quickly when the zebra-tailed lizard suddenly zips away.
