Best Answer

There are many types of animal classed as reptiles (scientific classification: Reptilia). Lizards are a type of squamate reptile (order: Squamata), which represents the largest order of reptiles in the modern world. Snakes are also squamate reptiles. All squamate reptiles possess hard scales.

The Reptilia class is divided into four orders:

Squamata; 9,400+ living species.

Testudines/Chelonii; 330 living species.

Crocodilia; 25 living species.

Rhynchocephalia/Sphenodontia; 2 living species.

Therefore, lizards are reptiles, but reptiles are not necessarily lizards.
