This lifeform is found in Central America. This lifeform is found in open grasslands or in plains.

Cnemidophorus deppei is found from Veracruz, Mexico south to Nicaragua. The young and females have 9-10 yellow longitudinal stripes. In males several of these stripes may be absent or present as a row of spots. The blue-black throat and blue tail help identify this beautiful lizard. These lizards are fast moving ground dwellers that prefer open areas or open forests.

Cnemidophorus genus is found from the northern United States (Minnesota, Idaho, Maryland, etc.) south through Central America through much of South America to Bolivia and northern Argentina.  There are about 50 species in this genus.  These various lizards have typical maximum lengths of eight to 18 inches.  This genus contains over 20  species of  female parthenogenetic life forms.

True Lizards (Family Teiidae) of the New World are closely  related to the Lacertidae.

Lizards and Snakes (Squamata Order) share many common characteristics and consequently they are grouped in a single order. There are greater differences between some groups of lizards than there are between other groups of lizards and snakes. The same is true of snakes. Lizards and snakes share a common skull shape.

Reptiles (Class Reptilia) are an ancient group of scaled  chordates. These scales may be permanently joined, as in the  turtles, or flexible, as in the snakes. Reptiles are land-based. Their eggs are laid on land and the young are air breathing.

Backboned Animals (Phylum Chordata) are the most advanced group of animals on earth. These animals are characterized by having a spinal cord or backbone. Most members have a clearly defined brain that controls the organism through a spinal cord. Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals are in this phylum.

Currently, some taxonomists believe that the fish should be divided into two groups (sharks and regular fishes) and that there are some other primitive groups in the phylum such as hagfish or lampreys.

Animal Kingdom contains numerous organisms that feed on other animals or plants. Included in the animal kingdom are the lower marine invertebrates such as sponges and corals, the jointed legged animals such as insects and spiders, and the backboned animals such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
