phylum | Chordata | The Great Basin collared lizard (Crotaphytus bicinctores), also known as the desert collared lizard or the Mojave black-collared lizard, is a species of lizard of the Western United States. It is very similar to the common collared lizard, in shape and size, but it lacks the bright extravagant colors. Males can be brown to orange and some red or pink on the belly. Females are more black or dark brown. C. bicintores have elongated scales near the nails and their tail is more triangular in shape than round as with the common collared lizard.
