Lizards are part of a group of animals known as reptiles. They are most closely related to snakes. In fact,some lizards,called sheltopusiks,look like snakes because they have no legs! Many lizards today resemble the ancient reptiles of the dinosaur era. Their ancestors appeared on Earth over 200 million years ago. In general,lizards have a small head,short neck,and long body and tail. Unlike snakes,most lizards have moveable eyelids. There are currently over 4,675 lizard species,including iguanas,chameleons,geckos,Gila monsters,monitors,and skinks.
