| phylum | Chordata | The Arizona night lizard is a small smooth-skinned gray-brown lizard with dark spots that sometimes form partial lines down the back. The lizard has a slightly flattened head. The scales of the underside and tail are larger than those of the upper side. The lizard grows to a length of 6 to 10 cm.[2][3]
Despite its name, the Arizona night lizard is primarily active during the day. The lizard's range extends across west-central Arizona. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry. Get back to Night lizards |
