Western Whiptail

I thought I would post another lizard photo. This one is of the Western (Great Basin) Whiptail. Unfortunately I don't have any fun stories about this one yet! -Wendi

The Western (Great Basin) Whiptail was first introduced to Nevada in 1906 during the peak of gold mining when miners would use the lizards as "canaries" for mine gas leaks - if the lizard died, than the miners knew to exit the premises...btw - I should mention, that is my hypothesis and not the real facts =)
