How does a lizards skin help keep the lizard from losing water?

The skin of lizards is waterproof because it is made of keratin and has no pores to evaporate water. A lizard can not 'sweat', but it dries out less quickly because of the pore-lacking skin.

What will happen if the insects if the lizard increase?
The lizard usually eat insects, so the lizard is the predator while the insects are the prey. This is about the food chain symbiosis balance and there's an interdependence between these 2 animals. The insects should be there to help feed the lizards as their primary food source, and the lizards should also be there to help control the insects population from exploding. If the lizard population increase, what'll happen is that the insects population will decrease. That's because more lizards mean more insects will get eaten, which can cause a decrease to their population.
How do basilisk lizards run on water?
They run very fast on the water, so they don't sink. If you slap your hand down really hard in the pool, it hurts. This is because the water is hard if you hit it hard. So when the lizard runs, its like his feet slap the water and make it hard, and before it turns soft again he moves his foot. Update The Basilisk Lizard actually lifts his feet from its toes first to help in run on water and moves fast.

Why did Jim Morrison call himself the lizard king?
He saw an Indian get hit by a car when he was a kid and he thought the Indian's spirit was living in him and that the Indian was named the lizard king. The song peace frogs is about this. Actually.. he called himself this because he said what are Lizards good at? hiding? and what do they do when they don't want to be caught? they play dead.. when he got in trouble in Florida 40 years ago he fled to France and faked his own death.. like a lizard.. he ran and then played dead.. The most common self-defense for a lizard is running away. But some lizards do the opposite: they freeze when they see an enemy, counting on their camouflage colors or bright patterns to help hide them. A few species of lizards even "play dead." These lizards hope they will not be interesting to a predator if that predator thinks they are already dead.
