Lizard 13

We are The Lizards, a large and widespread group of reptiles of the order Squamata, with nearly 5,000 species and ranging across all continents except Antarctica.  Most lizards have four limbs, external ears, a long tail, and are insectivores.  Many can shed their tails in order to escape from predators, though this trait is not universal.  Vision, including color vision, is particularly well developed in lizards, and most communicate with body language or bright colors on their bodies as well as via pheromones.  The adult length of species within the order range from a few centimeters (some Caribbean geckos) to nearly three meters (Komodo Dragons); most species are less than 0.5 lbs (220 grams).
