Lizards are part of the reptile family. Reptiles are known for being cold-blooded and for having a backbone. They have scaly, dry skin and they usually lay soft-shelled eggs.

Lizards can be found in many different places and they all have unique things that make them stand out. Some are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and others are huge and look closer to something that would live with the dinosaurs. Some of the most well-known types of lizards are iguanas, geckos, chameleons, and the Komodo dragon.

Some lizards are kept as pets, like geckos and iguanas.

There are over 4,675 species of lizard, according to the San Diego Zoo. Others sources say there are about 6,000 species. Included in this large number are lizards with four legs, some with two legs and some with no legs at all; lizards with frills, horns or wings; and lizards in nearly every color imaginable.

Many lizards lay eggs while others bear live young. For example, frilled lizards lay eight to 23 eggs, according to National Geographic, while some skinks have live young. The gestation for a lizard egg can last up to 12 months.

Most baby lizards are self-sufficient from birth and are able to walk, run and feed on their own.

Some lizards that are critically endangered include Campbell's alligator lizard, St. Croix Ameiva, Frost's arboreal alligator lizard, Be'er Sheva fringe-fingered lizard and the Doumergue's fringe-fingered lizard.

Chameleons' tongues are longer than their bodies, and their eyes can look in two different directions at once.

You can shine a light in a banded gecko's ear and the light will come out the other side, according to the American Museum of Natural History.

EDIT: NO! Not all lizards lay eggs. I will provide just a few of the many counterexamples: Oscillated skinks, Blue tongued skinks, Greater Short Horned lizards. Not all lizards lay eggs.
