Abronia bogerti (Bogert's Arboreal Alligator Lizard)

Wikipedia Abstract

Abronia bogerti is a species of lizard in the family Anguidae known by the common name Bogert's arboreal alligator lizard. It is endemic to Mexico. A single specimen was collected in 1954, and A. bogerti has not been spotted since. The location was "north of Niltepec, between Cerro Atravesado and Sierra Madre, Oaxaca", in Mexico. Because the species was collected in the canopy of the forest, it is believed that deforestation and ongoing crop and livestock farming pose the largest threats to its survival. Mexican law protects the lizard.
