The Arboretum is full of fascinating lizards, each with its own behavior, colors, and way of thriving in the desert. From rock dwellers to fast‑moving ground hunters and tree‑climbing species, their variety highlights the richness of the Sonoran ecosystem. Watch closely along warm paths, garden edges, and rocky slopes — there’s always something darting, basking, or blending in.
