• Lizards have amazing talents: Lizards are amazing creatures with special talents. They can change colors depending on how they feel. They can detach their tails to fool predators and grow new ones.
• Lizards have been on Earth for a long time: Lizards are the largest group of reptiles. There are over 5,000 species of lizards. Iguanas, chameleons, geckos, skinks, and monitors are a few of the many types of lizards. Lizards have lived on Earth for more than 200 million years!
• Lizards are vertebrates: Lizards have bony skeletons inside their bodies like humans. Animals with backbones and internal skeletons made of cartilage, bone, or both are called vertebrates. Animals without backbones are called invertebrates, such as spiders and insects. Lizards have many of the same organs in their bodies as humans, such as heart, lungs, stomach, liver, and more.
• Lizards vary in size: Lizards come in many sizes. The smallest lizard in the world is the dwarf gecko of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. It is .75 inches (2 cm) long from its nose to its tail. The world’s largest lizard is the Komodo dragon, which can grow to be 10 feet (3 m) long and weigh more than 150 pounds (70 kg). It lives in some Indonesian islands.
• Lizards can regrow their tails: Almost all lizards can lose their tails and grow new ones. This is called regeneration. If a predator grabs the lizard by its tail, the lizard can twist and turn muscles in the tail to make it fall off. The lizard can escape while the wriggling tail distracts the predator. Some small snakes eat the tails that are left behind.
