Lizards are reptiles that are closely related to snakes. Like all reptiles, lizards have scaly skin and are ectotherms—cold-blooded animals whose body temperature varies with the temperature of their surrounding environment. Most lizards are native to the tropics, but a number of species are found in temperate regions.Chameleons, iguanas, skinks, monitors, anoles, and geckos are some of the many different types of lizards.
A number of lizard species have adapted to life in the desert. Some desert lizards have toes fringed with spiny scales to help them run across the sand without sinking. Others burrow into the sand to escape the desert's intense heat, to hide from predators, or to search for small animals that they prey upon. Some burrowing lizards even have clear scales on their eyelids that protect their eyes but still allow them to see while they move under the sand.
