A great example of cryptic coloration. This is a coast horned lizard, Phrynosoma coronatum, in the family Phrynosomatidae, and is probably ssp. blainvillii which inhabits the foothills and coastal plains from L.A. to Baja. Ants make up about 50% of its diet. Source: San Diego Natural History Museum. |
