Animal Name: Yellow-spotted Tropical Night Lizard
Animal Type: Reptile
Species: Lepidophyma flavimaculatum
Among the largest of the night lizards, they often reach a length of 12.7 cm. Nearly black in color, with a series of yellow spots running along their sides, this night lizard can be found from central Mexico to Panama. They often live in decaying logs in wet climates and have a life span of up to 15 years. They can also be found in fresh water and are sometimes compared to crocodiles because of their "attack" method. They will often leap from the water propelled by their tails to catch prey, such as mosquito and small edge water grubs and insects.
