The homing ability of desert iguanas, Dipsosaurus dorsalis was studied in Anza Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, and in Thousand Palms, Riverside County, California. Eighty-three lizards were displaced distances ranging from 50-400 m. Twenty-two lizards successfully homed at least once. Two lizards homed from distances of 250 m, and one lizard from 274 m. These homing distances exceed the previously reported maximum homing distance for lizards. Similarities between the results of this study and previous studies are discussed.
