Lizards are, like the snakes, very adaptable creatures to be found in the driest of deserts, the humid rainforests, high to the north and far in the south and even wide at sea. Lizards has concurred the world with more than 2800 species and new ones are found every year, appearing in all shapes and colors, from uniform brown species to very colorfull species showing a wide variety of colors and even with the ability to change these colors. Most species has four well developed legs, but some has only two or even none at all.

We will in time make this site as interactive as possible, with a species list for each country, and with individual genus accounts, telling as much as possible about each genus and giving a full list of references. Any help with this project will be fully appreciated.
