Animal of the Day!

Mexican Alligator Lizard (Abronia graminea)

(Photo from Smithsonian’s National Zoo)

Conservation Status- Endangered

Habitat- Mexico; Guatemala

Size (Weight/Length)- 30.4 cm

Diet- Insects; Spiders; Snails

Cool Facts- The Mexican alligator lizard is native to highland Mexico in forests. Their scales range from dark blue to bright green, allowing for better camouflage in their canopy homes. Their name ‘alligator lizard’ comes from their pointed snout and the ridged scales along their back. That’s where the alligator part ends and the lizard begins as they mostly eat bugs. They are currently threatened by deforestation and the illegal pet trade.

Rating- 11/10 (Don’t worry, it’s not a real alligator.)
