Amphibians that have a simiiar body shape to lizards are called salamanders or newts. There is a visible difference between lizards and salamanders, though. Salamanders are moist and lack scales, while lizards are dry and have scales.

Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with nearly 3800 species,ranging across all continents except Antarctica as well as most oceanic island chains. The group, traditionally recognized as the suborder Lacertilia, is defined as all extant members of the Lepidosauria (reptiles with overlapping scales), which are neither sphenodonts (i.e., tuatara) nor snakes - they form an evolutionary grade.While the snakes are recognized as falling phylogenetically within the anguimorph lizards from which they evolved, the Sphenodonts are the sister group to the Squamates, the larger monophyletic group, which includes both the lizards and the snakes.
