 Rio Fuerte Beaded Lizard - LP Zoo

Rio Fuerte Beaded Lizard -

Such a long name humans gave me.

Just saying the whole thing is hard.

I guess it's meant descriptively.

From western Mexico is where

Most of my species do come from.

And bumps that look like beads we wear,

Making us all the more handsome.

There's lower jaw venom glands that

We can use to paralyze prey

We find in our habitat,

Unlucky to come our way.

When food is scarce on lizard scale,

We can store fat in our tail.
