Necrophilia is a reproductive behavior were a live animal attempts to mate with a dead conspecific. This behaviour has been reported in several lizard species. Here, we report the first case of necrophilia of an adult male Sceloporus zosteromus with a dead conspecific female in northwestern Baja California, Mexico.
