Book Description
One of the lizard species found in the eastern United States is the Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus). It's a ubiquitous and common reptile that can be found anywhere from the wild to the city. The "fence lizard" earned its moniker because of its propensity to sun itself atop fences, tree trunks, and other similar high points. The "undulated" appearance of an Eastern Fence Lizard is due to the dark, wavy lines that run along its back. They seem unique with a blue patch on each side of their bellies and a pointed nose. During the mating season, males' colors become more vivid, and some even have blue spots on their throats. As their name suggests, these reptiles subsist mostly on insects and other similar-sized arthropods. They are recognized for their ability to execute a push-up show, especially the males, which employ this behavior to establish territory and communicate with other lizards. The Eastern Fence Lizard is a key part of the ecology, playing a role in reducing insect populations and serving as a food supply for numerous predators. Hikers, explorers, and locals in the eastern United States frequently come face to face with this intriguing lizard.
