Aspidoscelis tigris stejnegeri
Brown and black lizard with bright yellow-orange spots covering it's body in stripes.
Spotted during coastal cleanup day at Lake Dixon in Escondido. Dry, rocky area near hiking trail.
My mom took these pics for me! :)
Neat, I had no idea this lizard was in need of conservation! It would be sad for these little guys to be endangered. They have such a cool pattern!
Great spotting Coral! The Coastal Western Whiptail is considered by the state of California as a "Species of Greatest Conservation Need"
Most likely a Coastal Whiptail - Aspidoscelis tigris stejnegeri.
