Eastern Fence Lizard

Auburn, Alabama
Probably a dominant (alpha) male.
Note: this is likely a dominant (alpha) male. The males possess sex-specific ventral coloration
in the form of vivid almost fluorescent blue badges which they display to conspecifics.
The color patterns are really striking and we doubt that many people ever get a chance to witness it.
