Which of the following behaviors is NOT typical of Northern Fence Lizard displays?

Northern Fence Lizards are known for several distinct behaviors that serve various purposes, especially related to communication and territorial displays. One common display is head bobbing, which is often used to establish dominance and attract mates. Additionally, they may inflate their throats during territorial displays, making themselves appear larger to deter rivals. The push-ups that these lizards perform with their front legs are another measured display of fitness and aggression aimed at both competing males and potential mates.

Jumping in the air, however, is not a typical behavior associated with the displays of Northern Fence Lizards. While these lizards are capable of quick movements and can leap to evade predators, this action does not serve as a specific communicative display in the same way that the other behaviors mentioned do. Thus, recognizing that jumping is not a characteristic part of their display repertoire helps to differentiate their more common behaviors from incidental actions they might take for mobility or escape.
