The following pictures appear courtesy of Matt Ingrasci and depict a male Crotaphytus collaris from the Southern Flint Hills.

Here's a shot of the male when first found.

Male Collared Lizard

The lizard subsequently wedged himself in the wheel of their truck and was ungrateful for his removal.

In this picture, the teeth are visible as well as the damage to the human finger!

Even upon release, the lizard was tenacious and attacked once more.
