The Southwestern Fence lizard (Sceloporus cowlesi), also known as Cowles' prairie lizard, the White Sands prairie lizard or the White Sands swift, is a species of spiny lizard in the family Iguanidae. The species is native to the Chihuahuan Desert of the southwest United States and north-central Mexico. Originally described as Sceloporus undulatus cowlesi, a subspecies of the eastern fence lizard, later DNA studies elevated the southwestern fence lizard to species status. This example was photographed in Santa Fe, NM.
