Horned Lizard enjoying the warm sun in Arizona

in hive-119845 •  4 years ago 

I spotted this neat little fellow out on the sunny rocks along a dry creek bed near Crown King, Arizona.

I believe that it might be a Regal Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma solare)
Interesting to see it out in the open but maybe there isn't heavy predator pressure in these hills north of Phoenix. Still, it was nice to see the little guy at a bit lower altitude than I have seen my other specimens in the past here in Arizona and over in New Mexico.
