It depends on the dino. Alligators are descendants of dinos, and their legs sprawl. But the majority of dinos that are extinct had straight vertical legs.
No, they are totally different from say Komodo dragons and lizards. Dinosaurs are reptiles and the main difference was the way they walked. They walked with their legs directly under their hips which is different from the way a lizard walks. Komodo dragons are lizards but huge ones.
Yes a lizards do hibernate under a logs.
The "-saur" part does refer to lizards, but the creatures were rather misnamed. In most respects, they were not very lizard-like, but hard more in common with birds. There was an effort a few years back to refer to them as "Archisaurs," a category meant to include birds and crocodiles and EXCLUDE skinks and iguanas and varanids, but I haven't heard much of it lately. Most obvious difference: lizard legs sprawl out to the sides, like turtle legs; dinosaur legs are directly under the body weight like birds, elephants, dogs and people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ''Sauria'' is a Greek word that means, as noted above, ''lizard''. When dinosaur fossils were first discovered, biologist Richard Owen coined the term Dinosaur, meaning terrible lizard. He knew that the fossils were not those of mammals and that they resembled reptiles more closely than anything else, hence the name. The term ''Archosauria'' applies to a bona fide Clade and is still in use today. It refers to a group of diapsid amniotes whose living representatives are the birds and crocodilians. It also includes many extinct reptiles such as pterosaurs, some long-gone relatives of crocodilians, and the non-avian dinosaurs.
some lizards live under rocks in the desert or in dry places.

Lizards, like all reptiles, belong to the kingdom Animalia.
Dinosaurs were a wide and varied group of animals that dominated Earth for more than 135 million years and that lived more than 230 million years ago. Despite their appearance and the meaning of their name, which is 'terrible lizards', dinosaurs were not lizards, but a completely different group of reptiles. Recent evidences found demonstrate modern birds evolved from some types of dinosaurs.
Under rocks and in small crevices.
under a tree
Yes. The almighty dinosaurs have forever been hiding under your bed and one day, they will rise again under the wrath of Lord Voldemort.
Lizards can sleep in trees, under rocks or leaves, or underground burrows. Some can even sleep underwater.
there were no types of water dinosaurs. Diosaurs only lived on land.
