Cnemidophorus exsanguis is a species of lizard typically found in the United States, particularly in Texas and New Mexico. This species is commonly known as the "bleached earless lizard" due to its lack of external ears and pale coloring. In scientific literature, the term Cnemidophorus exsanguis may be replaced with synonyms such as Aspidoscelis exsanguis, Holbrookia exsanguis, or Copeoglossum exsanguis, depending on the taxonomic classification system used. Regardless of the name used, the bleached earless lizard is an important species of concern due to habitat destruction, climate change, and other human-related impacts on its environment. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this unique lizard and its ecosystem.
