Lizard Adaptations

Sunday, January 9th, 2011


Aside from the typical saurian characteristics mentioned in the introduction, there are certain distinguishing though non-universal traits found in lizards. The subject of this section will be the various modifications found in certain organs of the lizards.

The first structure to discuss is the lacertilian eye. The eye of a lizard may be extremely well developed with functional lids and color perception, or the eyes might be concealed under a layer of skin, making them useless. The pupil could be elliptical or round. In the Gekkonidae, at least, many forms possess compound eyeballs. In the Chamaeleontidae the eyes are covered by a thick membrane of skin with a small aperture near the middle. Each eyeball can move independently of the other, a trait not wholly confined to the chameleons but found in a few other lizard genera as well (i.e., Calotes).

Leopard Mantis

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008


Leopard Gecko belong to the subfamily Eublapharinae of the large lizard gamilu Gekkonidae. Unlike other geckos , all members of this subfamily have movable eyelids , which is their most obvious characteristic. Eublepharine geckos also have digitals which lack the fine “brushes” or satae which enable many geckos to cling to glass or walls. However they possess well defined claws at the end of their digits which give them additional purchase when climbing rocks in the garden.
