Crotaphytus collaris is a North American lizard with a proportionally large head and powerful jaws. They are very active and predatory lizards, consuming vertebrate prey including mammals and other lizards. They are well known for the ability to run on their hind legs, reaching speeds twice that of the average human! When running, they look much like theropod dinosaurs, such as Velociraptor. Fellow cachers, you have been warned!
When J and W went out scouting a location for this cache, a C. collaris was in the rocks very nearby, looking at us. Since it was early in the day, he was probably still warming himself in preparation for a day of wreaking havoc on the hillside, but not yet able to mount much of an attack. He just sat there, making not a bit of sound, like he was stalking us, and showing not a bit of fear....more like a determined hunger, and he just kept staring at us with those cold, reptilian eyes. When W mistakenly turned his back, J thought that the C. collaris actually licked his lips "But that can't be! C. collaris doesn't have lips; only rows of sharp teeth!" We quickly finished gathering the information for our required Corps of Engineers cache permit, and tried to get out of there as soon as we could. As we started to leave, the C. collaris suddenly started jumping from rock to rock in an obvious display of hunger, and we left running! Only then did we realize that there were far more than just the one C. collaris in those rocks; we were being watched by a pack, and were happy to make it out of there alive!
You're looking for a standard-sized lock-n-lock.
Congratulations to theEnoch for First To Find!
