Desert Chuckwalla Uses Salty Sneezes to Prevent Dehydration

At Boston’s Museum of Science a chuckwalla sneezed white salty mucus to expel excess potassium and sodium bicarbonate salts. They thrive in Death Valley where temps hit 49 °C (120 °F). Read more: getnews.me/desert-chuckwalla-uses-s... #desert #chuckwalla

Chuckwalla
(Sauromalus ater)

Chuckwallas, have loose skin. When disturbed, Chuckwallas inflate themselves by gulping air and forcing it into their lungs, expanding their bodies and making it difficult for predators to dislodge them from crevices #reptiles #chuckwalla #photography #wildlife #nature

Carrot-tailed Chuckwalla hiding under a rock. Its carrot shaped and colored tail can be seen.

Apparently this exact type of Chuckwalla Lizard (carrot-tailed) only lives on South Mountain Preserve in Phoenix. How lucky am I to casually run into one?! 🦎 🌵

Update from Lisa Friedman

Trump has rescinded the proclamation establishing the #Chuckwalla and #Sáttítla National Monuments in California. The designations honored tribal sovereignty and intended to both permanently protect and ensure access to these remarkable places.

The #Tao teaches us that seeking balance is the path to prosperity. The whipsaw #American #BodyPolitic is anathema to ultimate prosperity, universal benefit, and survival.

#Biden's #Chuckwalla declaration is a proper expression of the Tao.

Deb Haaland speaks at a podium

President Biden didn't make it because of high winds, but Secretary Haaland is here to celebrate the (imminent) creation of #Chuckwalla and #Sattitla National Monuments.

She has been and will continue to be an inspiration to me and everyone who cares about America's lands and waters.

Biden adds to the nation's list of national monuments during his term. There's an appetite for more It was 1906 when U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt designated the first national monument — Devils Tower in Wyoming.

Let’s do this, President Biden.

There’s still a lot of work left to be done. #Chuckwalla #ProtectSáttítla

Get Involved — Protect Medicine Lake Highlands Sign the petition and add your name to the growing list of people asking President Biden to put in place national monument protections for important cultural, sacred, and traditional lands known as Sáttítla in Northern California.

here are some good petitions from the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) about having beautiful, spiritually and ecologically important places designated as national monuments! #epic #california #chuckwalla #joshuatree

#introduction

A desert view at sunset. In the foreground is sand with little dark patches. In the mid, there is a sliver of asphalt racetrack visible. In the background are red hills, lit with alpenglow, below a sky that is yellow at the horizon and blue around a full moon at the top of the photo.

This was my first ever trip to #Chuckwalla, and now I get it. It’s winter training for some of the top talent in U.S. road racing. The track is outstanding for spectating — from pit lane you can see almost the whole track, and from the top of the stands, even more.

And the place is beautiful.

My child, Chompy Dogleton. He is a calico Chuckwalla 🦎 #lizard #chuckwalla #reptilelover
