	SDNHM - Common chuckwalla

		The chuckwalla is distributed throughout the deserts of southern California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, western Arizona, Sonora, and Baja California.
		In desert communities with active development, the preferred habitat of the chuckwalla is under attack.

	Chuckwalla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chuckwallas (less commonly Chuckawallas) are large, bulky lizards found primarily in arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico; some are found on coastal islands.
		Chuckwallas are visually oriented and use a combination of colour and physical displays, namely "push ups", head-hobbing, and gaping of the mouth to communicate and defend their territory (see animal communication).
		Chuckwallas are diurnal animals and as they are exothermic, spend much of their mornings and winter days basking.

	Pacific Coast Herpetological
		When hunting Chuckwallas for food, the native peoples of the southwest were able to extract Chuckwallas from their crevices simply by puncturing them with a sharp stick causing them to deflate, and enabling them to be collected for the stew pot.
		Chuckwallas are medium to large sized (1 to 2 feet in length) Iguanids that vary greatly in both color and pattern.
		When Chuckwallas are frightened, they will gulp air into their lungs causing their bodies to blow up like a balloon, which gives them the false appearance of being much fatter than they actually are.

	San Esteban Island chuckwalla - Sauromalus varius - ARKive
		This is a prime example of ‘insular gigantism', the tendency of small mainland animals to increase in size once established on an island due to fewer natural predators.
		The chuckwalla's grainy, sand-coloured skin is splotched with shadowy grey blotches over the entire body, providing almost perfect camouflage against potential predators in its rocky habitat.
		Sadly, this lizard's large size, rather small head, loose, gathered folds of skin, and long, thick, blunt tail means that it has sometimes been mistaken for the poisonous gila monster, and persecuted as such.

		Chuckwallas are large vegetarian lizards that escape their predators by wedging themselves into rock crevices and then puffing themselves up with air so that they can't be pulled out.
		Chuckwallas like to be nice and warm before they clamber about chomping on desert vegetation, so they spend mornings basking in the sun.
