Orange throated side blotched lizard

Description:

Orange-throated males are “ultradominant”. They are the largest and most aggressive morph, defending relatively large (about 100 m2 or 120 yd2) territories and keeping harems of females with which they mate. They are adept at stealing mates from blue-throated individuals, but are vulnerable to cuckoldry by the yellow-throated female mimics.. Orange-throated males also have significantly reduced yearly survival rates compared to the other two morphs

Habitat:

Seen at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands,
