What is a Lizard?

Lizards are a group of reptiles that includes over 6,000 different species. They can be found on every continent except Antarctica, and they live in a wide variety of habitats, from deserts to rainforests. Lizards range in size from the tiny gecko, which can fit on a fingernail, to the Komodo dragon, which can grow up to 10 feet long.

Lizard Anatomy

Lizards have long, slender bodies with four legs. Their skin is covered in scales, which help to protect them from the elements and predators. Lizards have excellent eyesight and hearing, and they use their long, forked tongues to taste the air and detect prey.

Lizard Adaptations

Lizards have evolved a number of adaptations to help them survive in their environment. Some lizards can change color to camouflage themselves with their surroundings. Others have long, sharp claws for climbing trees or digging burrows. And some lizards have venom to protect themselves from predators.

Lizard Behavior

Lizards are generally solitary creatures, but some species do live in groups. Lizards are active during the day, and they spend their time basking in the sun, hunting for food, and avoiding predators. Lizards communicate with each other through a variety of vocalizations and body language.
