Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard Agua, inhabiting cloud forests on the mountain. "A. anzuetoi" is a diurnal tree-dwelling lizard. Dominant males exhibit territorial behaviour. Anzuetoi arboreal alligator lizard Anzueto's arboreal alligator lizard (Abronia anzuetoi ) is a species of lizards in the family Anguidae. The species is endemic to Volcán de Agua in Guatemala. The specific name, "anzuetoi" is in honor of Guatemalan naturalist Roderico Anzueto, who collected the holotype. The extent of occurrence of "A. anzuetoi" is approximately 24 km (9.3 mi), and thus the species is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. Anthropogenic impact is minimized by the fact that its native habitat has
Arboreal locomotion passive stability by hanging beneath the branch. Both pitching and tipping become irrelevant, as the only method of failure would be losing their grip. Arboreal species have behaviors specialized for moving in their habitats, most prominently in terms of posture and gait. Specifically, arboreal mammals take longer steps, extend their limbs further forwards and backwards during a step, adopt a more 'crouched' posture to lower their center of mass, and use a diagonal sequence gait. Arboreal locomotion allows animals access to different resources, depending upon their abilities. Larger species may be restricted to larger-diameter branches that can support their weight,
