Lizards!!!!
A Lizard's world is full of danger. Hungry snakes,birds,and other predators are everywhere with an empty stomach ready to eat some reptiles! To escape from their predators each Lizard has a unique adaptation that can help them live. Lizards can be found in places near the equator mostly in Tropical Rainforests, but you can also find some in Africa and the Deserts.
Lizards at Tropical Rainforests
Some adaptations can really help when you live at the Tropical Rainforest! The Lizards long toes help them from sinking. Anyway, if they sink they can hold their breath until their predator is gone.Lizards can also highly leap off trees. This adaptations can help Lizards not be a dinner for an animal!
Lizards at Deserts
Lizards that live at the desert have long toes that help them race across the sand quickly.Some Lizards can open their large mouths,and a frill of skin pops like an umbrella and is used to intimidate predators.Some Lizards have someamazing tricks to stay alive. Some Lizards in America have colors that match their surrondings.When they flatten out on the ground they seem to dissapear! If any suspected predator grabs a Lizard it may puff itself with air and it seems to large to be eaten or plan B is to squirt out blood from their eyes. on the grassy plains of Africa you can find the Armadillo Lizard which puts its tail in its mouth and when the predator takes a bite,they'll have spined on their tongues for a long time.

Tricks are great when they work.When they do not work a Lizards last hope is a strong bite. Its tiny teeth cannot do much damage, but its jaw can give a painful pinch! Allthese adaptations prove that Lizards will not be a very easy prey to catch!
