For the second consecutive summer, I have stumbled across a Northern Alligator Lizard. Both were discovered in the southernmost end of the province. Both were found in mountainous terrain perhaps 5-800 feet below the tree-line. Using Audubon’s Reptiles & Amphibians App, I discovered it is the only lizard that can be found living up to 10,000 ft elevation. It is also the only known lizard to bare live young!

Western Toads en masse!
