Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard vs. Long-nosed Leopard Lizard
The two meet and hybridise in a narrow zone (Cuyama Valley, the south end of the San Joaquin Valley); their records touch there. A: Short and blunt in the Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard; long and tapering in the Long-nosed Leopard Lizard. B: Dark spots with clear pale crossbars between them in the Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard; big round dark spots, crossbars faint or none in the Long-nosed Leopard Lizard. Range decides most of the time: San Joaquin Valley and Carrizo Plain (Blunt-nosed, endangered) vs the deserts (Long-nosed).
