Gambelia sila
''Gambelia sila'', also known as the blunt-nosed leopard lizard, is a blunt nosed lizard found in California.
==Taxonomy==
''Gambelia sila'' was first discovered by Stejneger in 1890 it was classified as ''Crotaphytus silus''. Stejneger discovered ''Gambelia sila'' in Fresno, California. Ten years later in 1900 Cope believed the lizard to be a subspecies of the long-nosed leopard lizard, ''C. wislizenii'', and classified it as ''C. w. silus''. Based on differences in bony plates on the head, the presence or absence of gular folds, and head shape, ''Gambelia sila'' was reclassified into the genus ''Gambelia'' by Smith in 1946, retaining the species name ''silus''. This is the genus name for leopard lizards in the family Crotaphytidae. ''Gambelia sila'' is similar to the lizards in the genus ''Crotaphytus'', the difference is that the latter have fracture planes in their tails. This allows the tails to break off when grasped by predators. This reclassification remained controversial until Montanucci in 1970 proposed the argument for specific classification based on the differences between the long-nosed and blunt-nosed leopard lizards. Eventually the name was changed from "''Gambelia silas''" to "''Gambelia sila''" to agree in gender.
