🦎 Meet Oklahoma’s state lizard! 🦎 . The male Eastern collared lizard is hard to miss. With their bright colors, bold patterns and distinctive “collar” markings around their neck, these lizards are one of Oklahoma’s most recognizable reptiles. They’re best observed by slowly driving on roads where rocky outcrops occur and carefully examining the tops of boulders and fence posts. . And here’s one of their coolest tricks: Eastern collared lizards can run short distances on their hind legs! When they take off, their front legs can lift off the ground, and their long tails help them balance, giving them that unmistakable cartoon-character run! . . . #lizard #easterncollaredlizard #herp #oklahoma #outdoors
