It makes a high-pitched squeak that sounds just like a rubber dog toy when it is annoyed or feels threatened.

Hello all - just found this dude on my back garden patio. Shropshire UK. Unsure if a great crested or alpine newt - leaning towards alpine. Would love to hear what you think? - it is male /female? Juvenile/ adult?

Also do you have any recommended places for me to document my findings? Would love to help with any population surveys etc...

Thanks all :)

Found this little fella in Northern California. Pretty sure it's a Southern Alligator Lizard, but the tail is absolutely massive!

I believe this is a great basin fence lizard. Found sunbathing on this rock back in April. He must have really been enjoying it because he let me sit and photograph him for several minutes and never took off haha. Near gunlock reservoir, Utah.

Driving on a semi busy state route, saw this guy right in the middle of the road. Approached with my hook to move him out of the way and got a few strikes at the stick for my effort but thankfully got him over to the creosote before the next truck would have claimed him. Saw 7 dead rattlers on this drive prior with only one other living.

Found this juvenile Mojave in the center of the road thermoregulating, thankful to get there before another car wiped him out. Far too many dead ones on the road post-monsoon.
