Common collared lizard

The common collared lizard, also commonly called eastern collared lizard, Oklahoma collared lizard, mountain boomer, yellow-headed collared lizard, and collared lizard, is a North American species of lizard in the family Crotaphytidae. The common name "collared lizard" comes from the lizard's distinct coloration, which includes bands of black around the neck and shoulders that look like a collar. Males can be very colorful, with blue-green bodies, yellow stripes on the tail and back, and yellow-orange throats. Five subspecies are recognized.
