The Long-nosed Leopard Lizard (Gambelia wislizenii) is a large predatory member of the Collared lizard family. They mainly prey upon smaller lizards, insects, and spiders. Long-nosed Leopard Lizards range over most of the western United States and into northern Mexico. They were once considered part of the genus Crotaphytus. The epithet wislizenii is in honor of the German-American surgeon and naturalist Frederick Adolph Wislizenius, who caught the first specimen near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
