| has gloss | eng: The western whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris (Baird and Girard, 1852) is a small lizard (adults average 25 to 35 cm - about a foot - in length) that ranges throughout most of the southwestern United States. Most of its populations appear stable, and is not listed as endangered in any of the states comprising its range. It lives in a wide variety of habitats, including deserts and semiarid shrublands, usually in areas with sparse vegetation; also woodland, open dry forest, and riparian growth. It lives in burrows which it digs in soil which can be firm, sandy, or rocky. Its diet consists mostly of small animals such as insects, spiders, scorpions and small lizards. Key differences between this species and the Checkered Whiptail (Aspidoscelis tesselata) are the lack of enlarged scales anterior to the gular fold and the presence of enlarged antebatrachial scales. |
