Desert Fauna (or Flora) you've spotted

I did some easy wheeling at Rolls and saw the cute little guy below. I used to have a mental checklist of animals I'd like to see. Anyone want to share some of the cooler animals (or plants) you've seen in the desert.

WIshlist:
Tortoise
Mountain Lion
Chupacabra (about as likely as the mountain lion)

Completed checklist:
Gila Monster
rattler
tarantula
javelina
coyote
bobcat (I actually think I've seen this but can't remember time/place)

Its a horned toad, i believe. as much as it has a frogs named, it is a lizard. it looks like my bearded dragon, but they aren't native to the US, so definitely not that. lol
