Angel Island chuckwalla
The Angel Island chuckwalla (''Sauromalus hispidus''), also known as the spiny chuckwalla or just chuck for short, is a species of chuckwalla lizard belonging to the Iguanidae family endemic to Isla Ángel de la Guarda (Guardian Angel Island) in the Gulf of California. The species was transported to other islands by a tribe of the Seri as a potential food source.
==Taxonomy and etymology==
The generic name, ''sauromalus'', is a combination of two Ancient Greek words:σαῦρος (sauros) meaning "lizard". and ομαλυς (omalus) meaning "flat". Its specific name ''hispidus'' is Latin for "coarse" or "thorny" in reference to the spines on the chuckwalla's tail.〔
The common name ''chuckwalla'' derives from the Shoshone word "tcaxxwal" or Cahuilla "caxwal", transcribed by Spaniards as "chacahuala".
