Lizards
Lizards
There are well over 3000 species of lizards worldwide. Lizards belong to the order Squamata (they share this with snakes) and the suborder Lacertilia. Lizards exist nearly everywhere on the planet, from the United Kingdom, to Africa to Australia. Wherever there is a mild climate you will probably find lizards. Being cold-blooded they cannot survive in colder climates permanently, but they have been known to survive sub-zero temperatures for weeks at a time.
Being cold-blooded, all reptiles need to be able to thermoregulate. This is where they move to warmer or cooler locations in order to control their body temperatures.
Most lizards eat either insects, fruits/vegetables or a mixture of the two. There are however some which eat rodents, snakes, other lizards, or carrion.
