Southern Prairie Lizard

Check out this cool looking lizard! While resting in the shade on our hike this past weekend, this small lizard ran up a rock and onto a yucca just a few feet in front of us. He did many pushups for us and watched us warily, but allowed Steve to take a couple of photographs. According to our friend John Roe this guy is most likely a Southern Prairie Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus consobrinus).
