Angel Island Chuckwalla
The Angel Island chuckwalla (''Sauromalus hispidus''), also known as the spiny chuckwalla, is a species of chuckwalla lizard belonging to the family Iguanidae endemic to Isla Ángel de la Guarda (Guardian Angel Island) in the Gulf of California. The species was transported to other islands by a tribe of the Seri as a potential food source. Taxonomy and etymology The generic name, ''Sauromalus'', is said to be a combination of two ancient Greek words: ''sauros'' meaning "lizard" and ''omalus'' meaning "flat". The proper ancient Greek word for "flat" is however ''homalos'' (ὁμαλός) or ''homalēs'' (ὁμαλής). Its specific name ''hispidus'' is Latin for "coarse" or "thorny" in reference to the spines on the chuckwalla's tail. The common name chuckwalla derives from the Shoshone word ''tcaxxwal'' or Cahuilla ''caxwal'', transcribed by Spaniards as ''chacahuala''. Description The Angel Island chuckwalla is the second-largest species of chuckwalla, reaching in body len ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Angel Island Mouse
The Angel Island mouse (''Peromyscus guardia''), or La Guarda deermouse, is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is a species of the genus ''Peromyscus'', a closely related group of New World mice often called "deermice". Distribution It is endemic to Mexico, where it is historically known only from the island of Ángel de la Guarda and nearby islets in the northwestern Gulf of California, Baja California. The species is believed to be extirpated from the three smaller islands, and may be extinct on Ángel de la Guarda, as well. The species is threatened by predation by feral cats, and by competition from introduced rodents. Description The Angel Island mouse has pale grey-brown fur with white underparts and feet, and large, hairless ears. It is most readily distinguished from closely related species on the mainland by subtle characteristics of the skull, or through genetic or biochemical analysis. Adults range from in total length, including tails long. Female ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
