Lizards, cold-blooded reptiles, have a wide variety of species. Its living environment is diverse, feeding on insects, and the lizard's hind limbs are strong and can run quickly and change the direction of running quickly. Most of the species are carnivorous, feeding on insects, earthworms, snails, and even rats. Many lizards often break their tails when they encounter predators or are seriously disturbed, and the broken tail constantly jumps to attract the attention of predators, but it escapes on its own.
Lizards are the most diverse group of reptiles, with more than 4,000 known species worldwide, mainly in the tropics. The surface of the body is covered with scales, a pair of eyes and a pair of ear holes. The surface of the lizard is covered with a layer of keratin. Some lizards have scaly organs with serrated edges protruding from the bristles, possibly with sense of touch. They are very fast, like a bolt of lightning, as can be seen in the picture below.
This should be a quick shot by the photographer, the surrounding scenery is all blurred, enough to see that they crawl very fast and move quickly.
Their palate can move relative to the rest of the skull, have square bones, and open their mouths to facilitate the swallowing of prey. The picture shows two lizards nibbling on their prey together, their mouths wide open.
Lizards live in a variety of habitats, living underground, on the surface or in tall vegetation, deserts and islands. Lizards are temperate animals, and lizards living in temperate and cold zones enter a dormant state in winter, showing changes in seasonal activity. Lizards living in the tropics can be active all year round due to the warm climate. But in particularly hot and dry places, there is also the phenomenon of summer sleep. Look at this lizard, is it a faint sadness, quietly looking into the distance, a contemplative look, very cute.
