Lizards are a very large and widespread group of squamate reptiles, with nearly 3,800 species.

Lizards first appeared approximately 200 million years ago, evolving alongside the dinosaurs.

The tail of some lizards separate from the body when the lizard is grabbed.

Lizards are found on every continent in the world except Antarctica.

Only two species of Beaded Lizards are venomous, the Gila Monster and the Mexican Beaded Lizard.

The adult length of species within the suborder ranges from a few centimeters for some chameleons and geckos to nearly three meters (9 feet, 6 inches) in the case of the largest living varanid lizard, the Komodo Dragon.

Most lizards are 4-legged, but a few have only 2 legs and others are legless.

The best lizard climber is the Gecko, claws down.

An iguana can stay under water for 28 minutes.

Lizards have eyelids, this enables lizards to blink.
