Lizards are relatively uncommon creatures, but they can be said to be very common! Commonly known as "four-legged snake" and "snake aunt", it is an extremely widely distributed reptile. Lizards are ectothermic animals that go dormant in winter when they live in temperate and zone regions; Lizards living in the tropics can be active all year round. But some lizards living in particularly hot and dry areas also have summer hibernation, which they use to survive periods of high temperature and drought and lack of food. According to the time of lizard activity, it can be divided into three types: day activity, night activity and morning and evening activity.
Although lizards have a wide range, the range of individual lizards is very limited, such as arboreal lizards, which tend to move between only a few trees. According to the study, some lizards that are active on the ground, such as the multi-lined southern lizard, have an range of only about 1,000 square meters. Most lizards are docile in temperament but attack when they cannot escape, especially Komodo dragons and venomous lizards.

Their bodies are bloated and slow-moving, while their tails are where they store fat.
The Gila lizard mainly inhabits inaccessible deserts and shrub areas and large cacti-covered areas, mainly feeding on various small birds and beasts and small lizards, injecting venom into the body of the prey during hunting, and swallowing it after the prey dies. The Gila lizard is born with terrible venom and is very powerful. The venom of the Gila lizard is similar to that of the western rhombus rattlesnake, which is a neurological venom, and symptoms such as quadriplegia, lethargy, shock and vomiting will occur when bitten by the Gila lizard.
Moreover, the bite force of the Gila poisonous lizard is very large, and it will continue to gnaw and never actively let go, so it is easy to cause serious injury. It has short stubby legs, a tail with ring-like stripes, and a triangular head!
