Mountain Boomers Making A Comeback Thanks To Conservation Efforts

Though it looks like it belongs in the deserts of the Southwest, the Eastern Collared Lizard once thrived as a native species of Arkansas, and conservationists are working to bring their numbers back up.

• Ok, boomer: Colloquially referred to as “mountain boomers,” the Easter Collard Lizard is one of Arkansas’s greatest conservation concerns as an important predator in glade habitats — their reintroduction could benefit other species of concern like the northern bobwhite quail and wild turkey.

• Getting a boost: The Eastern Collared Lizard Conservation Team recently released 43 yearling lizards that were bred in captivity at the Little Rock Zoo into restored glade sites throughout northern Arkansas to help reestablish a population in the Ozark Mountains.
