Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard


Anzueto's arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia anzuetoi ) is a species of lizards in the family Anguidae. The species is endemic to Volcán de Agua in Guatemala. The specific name, "anzuetoi" is in honor of Guatemalan naturalist Roderico Anzueto, who collected the holotype. The extent of occurrence of "A. anzuetoi" is approximately 24 km (9.3 mi), and thus the species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has many landmines, and surrounding coffee plantations have

material as their adult counterparts. The major threat to biodiversity for the Cope's arboreal alligator lizard is determined by the IUCN Red List to be the destruction of their habitat. Degradation and fragmentation of their suitable habitat has occurred as a side effect from construction, agricultural formation, and coal mining, as these activities require deforestation in these areas. These lizards are also frequently used in the pet trade, taking them from their native habitats and distributing them around the globe, which also depletes their native population sizes.

, "A. montecristoi" is found primarily in trees. There is very little known about the ecology of "A. montecristoi". However, the species is an inhabitant of cloud forests which are a major source of biodiversity in the world. Cloud forests, as the name suggests, are covered by clouds because they are at high enough elevations where cloud formation occurs which ranges from about . These cloud forests are a place where there is the constant flow of water because they are surrounded by clouds. This results in large biodiversity

. Again, it is unclear how "A. montecristoi" intereacts with its environment, but this species does live primarily in the trees of the cloud forests. Since "A. montecristoi" inhabits many cloud forests, its future looks bleak. The reason for this is because many of the cloud forest are steadily disappearing. Some scientists estimate that the cloud forests will disappear in the near future. These cloud forests are a major place of biodiversity.

Cope's arboreal alligator lizard


Cope's arboreal alligator lizard ("Abronia aurita") is a species of lizard found in two isolated locations in Guatemala, one in the Alta Verapaz Department and one in the Jalapa Department. These lizard are found only in high altitudes of 2,000 to 2,600 feet above sea level, on the west and south sides of the mountain ranges. This lizard is one of 28 species of alligator lizards, most being arboreal, meaning they live in trees. These omnivores are considered endangered because of their small population size and they face

extinction due to habitat degradation and from pressures of the pet trade. Cope's arboreal alligator lizard, also known as "Abronia aurita", is a species of alligator lizard found only in roughly 400 square kilometers of Guatemala. Specifically, the only suitable habitat for this species is between 2,000 and 2,600 feet above sea level on the west and south sides of Sierra de Xucaneb in the Department of Alta Verapaz. These species are considered arboreal, meaning they live in trees. They prefer to make their homes in the trunks of

as well as other invertebrates such as caterpillars, snails, spiders and mealworms. In addition, alligator lizards also rely on eating bromeliads, which serve as a vital source of energy when insect abundance depletes. Because of this, presence of bromeliads growing on and around their habitat is an important factor when determining their immediate habitat location. It typically takes Cope's arboreal alligator lizards until the second reproductive season for them to be large and sexually mature enough to reproduce. These lizards are viviparous (they do not lay eggs like many

The mating ritual of this alligator lizard is similar to other lizards, which will begin with the male lizard biting the head of the female in a display of his strength and fitness for mating. They will remain in this position until the female succumbs to the male and allows him to mate with her. This embrace could last for several hours. Each female will only give birth to one litter per year, of between 7 and 14 babies per litter. The

The sources are in some conflict as to the early career of this vessel. According to one source, "Monte Cristo" was built in 1891 in Everett, Washington. According to another source, "Monte Cristo" was built in Ballard, Washington, by John J. Holland, with engines provided by the Moran Brothers. The vessel's first owner was Henry Carstens, who

In 1890 many miners hiked to Monte Cristo from the south by way of Index, Galena, and Mineral City, crossing the divide at first via Wilmans Pass and later via Poodle Dog Pass. In the fall of 1891 a narrow wagon road called the Wilmans or Pioneer Trail was completed from Sauk City on the Skagit River to Monte Cristo, allowing access from the north. A key stop on this road was the trading post at Orient, at
