Behavior Ecology Project

My animal is the Western Fence Lizard or Sceloporus occidentalis. I choose this animal because there are a lot of them in my backyard and I wanted to know more about them. I am doing my observations in my backyard mostly in a small garden area. An interesting observation i have made is that the lizards do "push-ups" for both territorial and mating purposes. Some personal facts are that im 17 years old, live in Sonoma (wine country), and love to play tennis.
