Blainville's Horned Lizard.
Phrynosoma blainvillii. Although rare (and very well camouflaged), this distinctive lizard is certainly one of the most intriguing species in the Santa Monica Mountains. This species has been featured on nature shows for their ability to eject blood from their eye sockets when threatened. Original public domain image from Flickr
