Yucatan whiptail

Description:

The individuals are "parthenogenetic": the populations consist of females who give birth to only females without the benefit of males. Offspring are genetic clones of their mothers. Sometimes the female Yucatan Whiptails mate with a completely different species, the Deppe's Whiptail Cnemidophorus deppei.

Habitat:

Yucatán Whiptails are endemic to the Yucatán Peninsula, northern Guatemala and east-central Belize, so it a petty good find, even though the species is considered common in the northern Yucatán.
