A lizard, and a little celebration

[The Snark]

Anyone know the make and model? Total length is about 18 inches. I like how the coloration perfectly adapts it to cruising concrete.

And a little nice move. These posts appeared a couple of months ago along the entire length of our river. They state, Designated Riparian Area.

Then along our stretch of river three of these huge signs appeared.
PROTECTED WILDLIFE AREA. HUNTING AND FISHING PROHIBITED.

Kind of looks like the N Amer version of Earless lizard, never had an interest in keeping btw. Don't know what it is but, I do know that it's fast as hell just by looking at it.

Yup. Streamlined max. When these things are in boogie mode the only thing that touches the ground are the claws. But this trucker decided to warm his tummy and quite placidly posed for me, even waiting while I untangled the camera from it's leashes.
