INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Aug 30, 2016
  • location   Irvine (Orange County, California, US)
  • notes   Introduced to approximately 5-square miles of Irvine and Lake Forest, Orange County. Calculations determined by using four locations where this species has been found. A sight record of a whiptail, appearing as Aspidoscelis sonorae at Anaheim, was not included pending conclusive identification. Some biologists suspect this difficult to identify whiptail may actually be Aspidoscelis flagellicauda, a lizard boasting a bluish tinge and inhabiting rather high elevations in its native territory.
