Monthly Trivia Question (Answer)….

This month we asked what type of food does the endangered blunt-nosed leopard lizard eat? The lizard in question is an insectivore that eats “insects (mostly grasshoppers, crickets, and moths) and other lizards; some plant material is eaten rarely or is perhaps consumed unintentionally with animal prey.”

Learn all about the blunt-nosed leopard lizard in the database that was the source of this question (and answer). Specifically, Beacham's Guide to the Endangered Species of North America. This is a Gale Virtual Reference e-Book.  It has extensive data on the habitats and ecosystems of more than 1,200 species identified by U.S. Fish and Wildlife service, arranged taxonomically in 6 volumes.

Find this e-reference work  on the library’s Research & Homework page under “B” and access it with your library card.
