Fence Lizards of Cabrillo

There are always lots of lizards at Cabrillo National Monument out at the end of Point Lomas above San Diego Harbor. They like the warmth of the sidewalks and walls in the sun. This first specimen was seeking the shade, not for coolness sake, but for camouflage.

Then we have the calisthenic lizards doing push-ups on the edge of a wall. I think it was some kind of dominance play for another males down below.

And finally a close up.
