Alligator lizards prefer ground that is covered with lots of thick grasses and plants. We found two babies - they were cute.

Alligator Lizard Longtail
Most Alligator Lizards have broken or regenerated tails. This one has a complete tail that has never been broken. Alligator Lizards have large smooth scales, an alligator-like snout, and a longitudinal fold on each side of the body.
