 Introducing lizards

There are over 40,000 different types of lizard living in every habitat from deserts to rainforests. They are particularly fond of hot places.

Lizards :

Lizards have scaly bodies anf four feet that each havr five fingers.  As lizards grow, they shed their skin about once a month.

Legless lizards :

This slow worm is not a worm, it's a lizard. It looks like a snake but, unlike snakes, it had eyelids and a pointed tongue, whereas snakes' tongues are forked.

Some lizards have no eyelids they lick their eyes to clean them.

Flying lizards :

Lizards can't fly but some can glide from tree to tree. This lizrad has skin around its body that opens out, like a parachute.

Babies  :  The baby lizards look like their parents.

Walking on water 

When they want to go faster some lizards, like the crested water dragon, run on their hind legs. The basilisk lizard above can even run for short distances across the surface of the water, its wide feet pushing it aling at high speed.
