As I was telling JC earlier, we saw a lizard very much like this drawing. It wasn't as big as the one described by the witness which was said to be 20 lbs. The one we saw was probably under 5 lbs and only a bit over a foot long. This was many years ago and I had no interest in Cryptozoology at the time. I just assumed it was some species of NM lizard that I hadn't come across before. However, in recent years I have found that there seems to be no known species in NM that looks like what we saw. We saw it out on Santa Ana Pueblo which is nowhere near where this other sighting took place. There was a huge rainstorm and we had pulled off the highway and decided to watch the storm which was quite fantastic. We had parked on a side road with no houses or buildings around (there was absolutely no traffic) and when the storm was over we noticed a natural arroyo that had water rushing through it not far from the road. We got out of the car to check it out and there was this lizard and he seemed very pissed off that we were disturbing his water fun! He ran towards us on his hind legs and was puffing himself up, his headdress seemed to be flaring. If I am recalling right, he was also making a noise that sounded like spitting. He had very pretty light reflecting skin, almost like holographic rainbow paper, but not that bright and shiny. Perhaps he was someone's exotic pet that they had dumped there or there is a population of undiscovered species of lizard in NM? This was before digital cameras and cell phones, so I had no camera with me. :-(
