EDITORS COMMENTS

This illustration showcases the intricate details of the Spiny Lizard, Sceloporus asper, a remarkable reptile belonging to the family Phrynosomatidae within the larger order Squamata. The Spiny Lizard is a native of the Americas, specifically found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. The illustration, published in the esteemed Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London in 1897, offers a close-up view of this vibrant green lizard, adorned with distinctive black spines along its flanks. These spines not only serve as a defense mechanism against predators but also provide excellent camouflage against the rocky terrain of its habitat. The Spiny Lizard is a diapsid reptile, meaning it has two openings, or diapsids, in the skull behind its eyes. It is further classified as a sauropsid, a reptile with a sauro- or reptile-like posture, and a lepidosaur, characterized by its scaly skin. As a member of the Iguania suborder, the Spiny Lizard shares characteristics with iguanas, such as a long, muscular tail used for balance and agility. This lizard is also a phrynosomatid, a type of lizard in the Phrynosomatinae subfamily. This illustration is a testament to the intricate beauty and diversity of the reptile world, and serves as a reminder of the rich natural history that can be found within the pages of scientific publications. The Spiny Lizard, with its unique features and captivating appearance, continues to fascinate and inspire researchers and nature enthusiasts alike.
