Salvadora hexalepis
June 27 10 mi SE Mesquital, 400 ± ft, Baja Calif.
Found it at about 4 PM while setting traps.
Was in an open space, motionless, not far
from camp. In a few moments I made
a move for it and it went to a nearby
bush, where tried to evade me in the branches
at the base. When captured it became quite
violent, thrashing around and biting me
several times.
