Key Points

A lizard is a type of reptile belonging to the order Squamata. This order includes snakes and worm lizards as well as over 7,000 species of lizards. These creatures can be found in almost every region across the globe, with some exceptions, such as Antarctica. Lizards usually have four legs and typically range from about 3 inches to 10 feet in length, depending on the species. All lizards possess scales and claws for digging or climbing on surfaces, and some even have tails that are capable of regenerating if lost or damaged! Most lizards also lay eggs, but several species give birth to live young instead. They feed mainly on insects, although larger varieties may consume other small animals like mice or birds. Their diet varies from one individual to another, and they even have favorite foods.
