| | Lizard - definition of Lizard in Encyclopedia |
 | | Other small lizards are harmless to humans (most species native to North America, for example, are incapable of drawing blood with their bites). | | | The most familiar example is the chameleon, but more subtle color changes occur in other lizard species as well (most notably the anole, also known as the "house chameleon" or "chamele"). | | | Most lizards lay eggs, though a few species are capable of live birth. |

| | lizard - Columbia Encyclopedia® article about lizard |
| | Lizards form the suborder Sauria, and there are over 3,000 lizard species distributed throughout the world (except for the polar regions), with the greatest number found in warm climates. | | | Members of most species are carnivorous, feeding especially on insects, but some are herbivorous or omnivorous. | | | In most species females lay eggs, which they bury in the ground, but in some the eggs are incubated in the oviducts and hatched as they are laid. |

| | Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma spp.) |
| | Initially, the lizard uses the scales on the front edge of its lower jaw to literally cut into the earth as it vibrates its head into the ground. | | | The diet of some horned lizards consists of specific insects, while other species are more catholic in their tastes. | | | Some species are widespread, such as the round-tailed and Texas horned lizards which occur in several U.S. and Mexican states, while the flat-tailed horned lizard (P. mcalli) is restricted to southwestern Arizona, extreme southeastern California, a small part of northeastern Baja California and the upper neck of northwestern Sonora, Mexico. |

| | Most lizards are small, with four legs and a long tail that in many species is fragile and easily broken but will regenerate; the tail of such arboreal species as the chameleon is adapted for grasping branches. | | | The diets of lizards vary greatly, depending on species. | | | Females of most species lay eggs, which are left to hatch on their own. |

| | Lizard-keeping Overview |
| | Lizards that can be kept in a temperate environment are leopard geckos, some of the swifts, iguanas, anoles, tokays, house geckos, and some of the day geckos. | | | Depending on the type of lizard it may not be necessary to give them supplements every time you feed them, but they should not be eliminated entirely. | | | Full-spectrum bulbs are probably more beneficial to lizards active during the day, for obvious reasons, and are virtually a necessity for those animals adapted to high-intensity sunlight environments, such as deserts or savannahs. |
