| Sumario: | Anomalies in tail regeneration have been documented for various families of lizards; however, information for Mexican lizards is scarce. Although Sceloporus grammicus is one of the most studied lizards in Mexico, here we document for the first time the observation of a gravid female with tail bifurcation. In addition, we include data on the frequency of occurrence of caudal autotomy in females and males. |
