These lizards are created by a hybridization of the western whiptail (which lives in the desert) and the little striped whiptail (a grasslands lizard). Generally, crossbred species (like the mule) are typically sterile. However, the New Mexico Whiptail reproduces by a complex series of events (discussed above that appear like cloning) where it's eggs require no fertilization, and its offspring are nearly a genetic duplicate of the mother [1]. | These lizards are created by a hybridization of the western whiptail (which lives in the desert) and the little striped whiptail (a grasslands lizard).
