Abronia vasconcelosii, sometimes known as Bocourt's arboreal alligator lizard,[4] is a species of lizard in the family Anguidae.[1][3] It is endemic to the plateau of the Guatemalan Highlands, where it occurs in lower montane moist forest and cloud forest habitat at elevations around 2,000–2,200 m (6,600–7,200 ft) above sea level.[1] Abronia vasconcelosii exhibits complex aggressive behavior patterns, including approaches, head flexing, and body arching, particularly during male-male encounters where aggression is more pronounced, leading to biting behaviors directed at the tail.
