Colorado Desert Fringe-toed Lizard vs. Zebra-tailed Lizard

Both run over the Colorado Desert sand; their records overlap widely. A: Covered in small eye-spots in the Colorado Desert Fringe-toed Lizard; plain grey with small spots, no eye-spots in the Zebra-tailed Lizard. B: Orange stripes and one black bar on each side in the Colorado Desert Fringe-toed Lizard; two black bars on each side in the Zebra-tailed Lizard. The Zebra-tailed curls its black-banded tail over its back; the fringe-toed dives into the sand.
