Flat-tail horned lizard
The flat-tail horned lizard (''Phrynosoma mcallii'') is a reptile of the Sonoran desert of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.〔 Its multiple adaptations for camouflage help to minimise its shadow.〔 The species is threatened, with a restricted range under pressure from human activities such as agriculture and development, and is specially protected in the United States.
==Description and range==
The flat-tail horned lizard is named for Colonel George A. M'Call, who collected the first specimen in California in the 19th century. The species occupies a small range in the Sonoran Desert of southeastern California, southwestern Arizona, and extreme northern Mexico in the Baja California and Sonora states.〔Rorabaugh, 1987.〕 Over time, horned lizard populations have adapted to climate, food, and predators, causing them to in some ways be distinct from one another.〔Sherbrooke, 2003.〕
:"A medium-sized flat-bodied lizard with a wide oval-shaped body and scattered enlarged pointed scales on the upper body and tail. The back skin is smooth with small spines. 8 horns extend from the back of the head. The two central horns are long, slender and sharp. Long and narrow spines on the lower jaw and two rows of fringe scales on the sides of the body, the bottom row scales smaller than the upper."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.californiaherps.com/lizards/pages/p.mcallii.html )〕
