Here's a long-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia wislizenii) that we found while working in the desert last week. Poor guy was pretty dehydrated and tired (there's a drought going on this year and everything is having a tough time of it).
I guess he was conserving his energy, I wasn't appearing to be much of a threat, so he let me get pretty close to him to take this picture. He even jumped up onto me as he was trying to catch some flies that were landing around us.
