Good pics, Worldtraveller.
Based on my research, that might be an Aruban whiptail lizard, with its tail probably having been torn off and regenerated.

Great photos Mediancat
One suicidal tarantula: We were a hoard of 16 hikers, we found this guy smack dab on the trail. Since it was probably 40 degrees or so out I doubt he could move fast. He certainly didn't flee our photographic efforts and many shots were taken at quite close range.

Awesome wildlife encounter, Loren. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Yeah. They make it easy on by gliding right up next to the cruise ship and posing.
I was probably less than 20 ft from it at that point, and we were on the 8th deck.

This morning I was out in my back yard and looked up into one of my trees that overhangs the cat enclosure.
Big white blob.
I got my camera and the angle is pretty difficult to get a good shot of the head. I did get a pretty good butt shot.
Later my cats want to to go out into their enclosure to do their morning business so I went out too. My cats are 18 pounds and 24 pounds. It would take a really hungry bird to try for them but I didn't want to take chances.
Finally the bird stretched its wings, did a poop itself that landed just outside the enclosure, and flew off.

Some bighorn sheep, right near the road. (The lens was at about 100mm effective, cropped about 50%)
Main road, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada
Later the people at the head of the group saw a newborn, but it departed too quickly, I didn't even see it.
And a Chuckwalla, so stealthy that a woman a couple of feet from me asked what I was taking a picture of and didn't even see it when I said "lizard", she only saw it when it moved.
Fall Canyon, Death Valley National Park, California

Not so wild, but when I stopped by here for a project, something looked very off.
