The chuckwalla is a beautiful lizard found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. They can also be found on some coastal islands in the same region. The chuckwalla normally has a dark colouration and small, fine scales. The chuckwalla is quite wide bodied with a thick tail that runs down to a point.
