Heloderma horridum Sauromalus, Philadelphia Zoo
Picture of an
Mexican beaded lizard (Heloderma horridumen). Picture taken at and identified by the
Philadelphia Zoo.
This is not Heloderma horridum. The Species is a Sauromalus. See discussion Wikipedia Germany (
WP-Germany,
Google Sauromalus]). Please examine the picture data. --

This was positively identified by the philadelphia zoo via the display information. The species and an image of this animal were shown on the display and that was used for this image. I can't upload the display because it would be a copyright violation. --

OK! Thanks for answer. --

He's right, this is not a Mexican Beaded Lizard, this is a San Esteban Island Chuckwalla. The zoo might have been reusing the cage or outright lying to its guests...but if that's what the sign said, it was 100% incorrect.--
