leopard lizard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gambelia
''Gambelia'' is a genus of lizards, commonly known as leopard lizards, within the family Crotaphytidae. Leopard lizards are indigenous to arid environments of southwestern North America. Species in the genus ''Gambelia'' superficially resemble those of the genus ''Crotaphytus''. However, one difference between the genera ''Gambelia'' and ''Crotaphytus'' is that leopard lizards have fracture planes in their tails, allowing the tails to break off when grasped by predators. ==Etymology== The generic name, ''Gambelia'', is in honor of American naturalist William Gambel.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (Genus ''Gambelia'', p. 97).〕
