The long-tailed brush lizard is a small lizard from the deserts of southwestern North America. It has a slender body and a very long tail that helps it nimbly move through bush branches.
The long-tailed bush lizard differs from related species by its particularly long tail and life on bushes in the desert. It regulates insect populations and serves as food for snakes and birds.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
