EDITORS COMMENTS
CAN-2295: The Master of Disguise - Shedding Secrets in the Sonoran Desert!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the incredible transformation of a Regal Horned Lizard as it sheds its skin and buries itself to beat the scorching Arizona heat. Known as the largest horned lizard species, this magnificent creature has mastered the art of camouflage among desert rocks and sand. With its textured spines, impressive horns, and cleverly designed spikes, this reptile blends seamlessly into its arid surroundings. From above, it's nearly impossible to spot! But don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance; beneath that camouflaged exterior lies a voracious appetite for ants. As temperatures rise in the Sonoran desert, our regal friend knows just what to do. By shedding its old skin and burying itself deep within the cool earth, it achieves perfect temperature control – nature's very own air conditioning system! This remarkable sequence captured by Cancalosi showcases not only growth and development but also highlights how these lizards adapt to survive in their harsh environment. It serves as a reminder of nature's ingenuity and resilience. So next time you find yourself wandering through Arizona's breathtaking landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for CAN-2295. You might just witness one of Mother Nature's most spectacular acts – a regal horned lizard shedding secrets while staying effortlessly cool!
