What is the challenge that the Orange-throated whiptail lizard is facing?

The orange-throated whiptail lizard is short-lived specie. Their different ability to avoid captivity must be based genetically. Long-lived reptiles can learn to adapt and recognize risk after stressful experiences unlike the short-lived reptiles in which orange-throated whiptail lizard belongs. Thus implying a rapid evolution of anti-predator behavior.
