Though I hiked and drove many miles through the Sonora Desert to find interesting creatures, I encountered a particularly bizarre sight while sipping ice water on a friend’s patio in Phoenix. This bruiser of a male Desert Spiny Lizard walked by with a Pocket Mouse shoved in its mouth. I ran out to my truck to grab my Camera and 100-400mm lens. Amazingly, the lizard was still there when I returned. This picture is testament that most reptiles & amphibians simply consume any animal they can catch and swallow, regardless of taxa. Males of this rugged species also engage in brutal combat over territory, biting and flipping each other.
