Lizards are a group of four-legged, scaled reptiles that belong to the order Squamata. They are found in various habitats, including deserts, forests, and grasslands, and come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and shapes. Some species of lizards can change color for camouflage or to regulate their body temperature, while others have unique adaptations such as the ability to detach their tails as a defense mechanism. Lizards are omnivores, feeding on insects, plants, and small vertebrates.
