Common collared lizard — size comparison — facts and sources
The common collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris) inhabits dry rocky North American landscapes and open slopes. Two dark bands behind its head resemble a collar.
Powerful hindlimbs allow rapid running. Raised rock perches provide lookouts for prey and signalling sites. It actively hunts by day. Territorial males communicate through head movements and raising the forebody.
It eats insects and other small animals and rests in shelter after dark. Natural colours and size vary between populations. Females lay eggs.
