Newly-released blunt-nosed leopard lizard, Panoche Hills. The Fresno Chaffee Zoo administers the only captive breeding program for this endangered species and has been releasing them to bolster a declining population. The transmitter will provide important information before falling off in 2 months.

Kangaroo rat beneath a juniper in the Panoche Hills on a moonless night. Either a Heermann’s Kangaroo Rat or a Giant Kangaroo Rat, which are endangered.
