One of the many highlights of the 8/17/2016 Mount Lemmon walk with Ned and Friends of Ned was seeing this very young Greater Short-horned Lizard taking a walk on the wild side!

These lizards are found at higher elevations and are born alive. This one was born in the spring.

The Regal Horned Lizard is in the same family, is found in Sabino Canyon (and elsewhere). The females (of course) lay eggs.

One needs a special license in order to handle these (or any) lizards, so don't try this at home.
