| Deseret Chuckwalla |
My sister and her family came to visit for Thanksgiving and after the Thursday ritual overdosing on Turkey etc., we visited the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. We had a nice time walking around and checking out the animals- at left is what I believe is a female Desert chuckwalla that was hanging out in the Mountain Lion enclosure. Either Mountain Lions prefer chuck steak to chuckwalla, or they are well fed, as this large lizard was quite brave in its choice of habitat. The kids really enjoyed the cave and the bat ear demonstration as seen below.

The animals are of course the main attraction at the museum and the unseasonably warm weather had them out basking in the Sun and posing for all the visitors.
As always, click the pictures to enlarge.

And yes, we even managed a picture of the elusive mother bat. This is the first time that this animal has been photographed in the wild:
