Fence Lizard

Description:

A small lizard that is endemic to the United States. It is most commonly seen having a brown and white scaly body with distinct blue patches on its underbelly. These lizards can readily lose their tail, a process known as autotomy, and then regrow it.

Habitat:

These are terrestrial animals found in shrubs, abandoned buildings, rock piles, fallen logs, trees, and, as the common name suggests, along fence lines.
