The common collared lizard is a vibrant and active species of lizard native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Known for the distinct black "collar" markings around its neck, this lizard is recognized for its vivid colors, with males often displaying bright green, yellow, and blue hues, particularly during the breeding season. Collared lizards are highly territorial and can run on their hind legs to chase prey or escape predators. They are carnivorous, feeding primarily on insects, smaller lizards, and other small animals. These lizards are well adapted to their desert habitat, often seen basking on rocks or darting across the terrain.
