INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT LIZARDS

Lizards belong to the reptile family. A long tail, two pairs of legs that extend outwards from the body, and scales are among their distinguishing features. Most lizards are cold-blooded and use their metabolism to maintain their body temperature. There are several lizard species found all over the world.

Different lizard species have unique traits that make them fascinating to study. Some even resemble prehistoric creatures or even creatures from a fiction story. Here is a list of facts about lizards that you will find very interesting:

Lizards can detach their tails

If they are caught by a predator, some lizards can detach their tails. This allows them to flee rapidly. Autotomy is the term for when this happens.

Geckos have microscopic hair on their feet

Have you ever wondered how lizards climb up walls or across ceilings? On the bottom of their feet, geckos have microscopic hairs. These hairs assist them in sticking to things, making them excellent climbers.

Most lizards can swim

The majority of lizards can swim. Better still, the green basilisk lizard. Not only can they swim, but they can also run on water. How cool is that?!

Chameleons can look in different directions at the same time

Have you ever tried using one eye to look left and the other to look right? It’s quite difficult! Chameleons may easily change their appearance by looking in different directions. Their eyes bulge out, allowing them to stare at two separate objects at the same time.

Some lizards can live for 50 years

The lifespan of different lizard species varies. However, there are some lizards that can survive up to more than 50 years!
