Arizona’s Desert Spiny Lizard has one of the wildest survival tricks in the desert. 🦎 These lizards can actually change color depending on the season and temperature. During colder months they darken to absorb more heat from the sun… then lighten up during hotter months to help reflect it. They’re found all across Arizona deserts and are also known for their bright blue bellies, climbing cacti, and even doing push-ups to defend territory. 😭 Nature in Arizona really different.
