Lacertus Palus (lizard of the pole) - This small, long-bodied, four-legged reptile with tapering tail and tubercular end skin is found only in the desert Antelope Valley region of Southern California. One of nature's best examples of adaptation to climatic conditions, this "pole lizard" survives the blistering hot desert sand by climbing a pole or stick to cool his feet and body. Where vegetation is sparse, he often carries a stick in his mouth and inserts one end into holes or cracks in the desert floor to provide a climbing shaft. When body temperature has reduced, he will descend the pole, remove it, and carry it to his next destination.
