They lash their keeled tails. They also bite. And another defense mechanism, that really isn't actually intended, is that iguanas have salmonella. Salmonella is a disease that iguanas might carry.

Some lizards lose their tails when trying to escape from predators. Also, these tails convulse vigorously when they fall thus scaring off the predator. For a moment it seems like the tail is actually living.

Also they are exothermic so they can allocate their energy to other life processes besides trying to stay warm or cool off.

Scales prevent burning.

There is a type of lizard that can run on water for short distances because of the type of scales on their feet and their speed.

Some have the ability to camouflage.

Some lizards have a physical adaptation of being see-through.

Also, they can survive in habitats with extremely hot temperatures like deserts. they escape the heat by burying themselves inside the sand.

That depends on the lizard. Most of them run from danger. They might bite if they are caught or cornered. Many lizards can drop their tail if needed to escape or distract a predator that has captured them. One lizard, the Texas horned lizard, can squirt foul tasting blood from its eyes at predators, which confuses and repels predators.

They drop their tails, which wiggle a little to get the predator's attention away when the lizard escapes. After a few months, it grows back
