Dipsosaurus dorsalis, commonly known as the desert iguana, is a unique species of lizard found in the arid environments of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.

Dipsosaurus are renowned for their exceptional ability to survive in harsh desert conditions, possessing remarkable adaptations that allow them to thrive in extreme temperatures and limited water availability.

These remarkable reptiles have developed efficient physiological mechanisms to conserve water, enabling them to endure prolonged periods of drought and scorching heat.

Dipsosaurus possess specialized scales that are highly impermeable to water loss, minimizing evaporative water loss and maintaining hydration levels even in the most arid environments.
