How do whiptail lizards live?

Whiptail lizards are found in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America, typically in desert and semi-arid environments. They are omnivorous, feeding on insects, spiders, small vertebrates, and plant matter like fruits and flowers. Whiptail lizards are solitary creatures that tend to avoid large groups. They are well-adapted to hot, dry conditions and are known for their quick movements and ability to climb. Some species of whiptail lizards are parthenogenic, meaning they reproduce without fertilization, while others lay eggs that hatch into fully formed young. Reproduction in parthenogenic species is asexual, and the offspring are genetic clones of the mother.
