Eastern Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris) The eastern collared lizard is one of the most colorful lizards in the Sonoran Desert. They are predatory lizards with strong jaw muscles used to grasp insects and other lizards. They can run on their hind legs, giving them an enormous stride and fast pace. The extra height allows them to see distant prey, too. Their tails do not break away easily, probably due to the fact that they are helpful in maintaining balance.
Body length: 3 - 4.6 in ( 7.6 - 11.6 cm)
Total length: 10 in (25 cm)
Diet: Insects (mainly grasshoppers) and lizards

Bangkok from our hotel roof. This place is huge. With a population of 8.3M it's about the same size as New York (8.6M).
