To Save This West Texas Lizard, They Must First Prove It Actually Exists

Researchers believe the Dixon’s whiptail has been mistakenly identified as another lizard for decades.

Why are teiids so weird

In one family we have:

a lizard that turns warm-blooded for part of the year, using the same regulatory mechanisms that mammals do. the other species in its genus does not do this.

a lizard that got rid of its males and still manages to somehow maintain genetic diversity. actually there are several species that can do this.

two lizards that replaced all of their teeth with molars

fake tooth sockets

and now this delightful cryptic species(?)

This is why they're my favorites. Monitors might be all "bone armor! iron teeth! sleek and deadly!" but every single teiid species is a complete freak and we love them for it.

In horrid biphobic news, I just got my gorgeous beautiful wonderful book on fabric dyeing with fungi in the middle of fucking February, when all outside is a frozen waste with nary a living plant or mushroom to be seen.

Woe is me. I want to go root around in the woods after mushrooms like a bog witch and see if I can find the ones that make wool go pretty colors.
