Although sometimes used as a general term for all reptiles, lizards are actually a specific order of reptiles. Most lizards have long, four-legged bodies with long, tapering tails, and many species have the ability to change the color of their skin (some just a little, but some quite dramatically) as a form of camoflage. Although a large number of lizards are insectivores (insect eaters) larger species are carnivorous hunters, eating small prey such as rodents or eggs. Click here for more info...
