Ornate Tree Lizard vs. Plateau Fence Lizard
The Ornate Tree Lizard is a small, slim lizard of the canyons near Flaming Gorge that climbs rock faces and junipers. A: its back is mostly tiny grain-like scales, with bands of larger keeled scales running down it; the Plateau Fence Lizard has large spiny scales all over the back. B: the Tree Lizard has a fold of skin right across the throat (the gular fold); the Plateau Fence Lizard has no complete fold. Both live on rocks in southwestern Wyoming; the Tree Lizard is smaller and slimmer, with a longer tail.
