Colorado River Lizards (The area around and islands on the Fountain River NA): A long-standing local folklore in this region includes things like the prairie devil and "evil river spirits", and recent reports from a local boy concur that there may be something strange living on and around the Fountain. The boy claims to have watched a greenish colored lizard with black markings and a yellow-orange belly running on it's hind legs away from him. Another local took a series of pictures, but they are indistinct and could be easily faked. However, there is one very good picture, showing a man holding up a 3 foot long lizard with small front legs and long, strong hind legs. If that was faked, it was done with a very good model. These are bipedal lizards, like the mountain boomer but smaller.
