Summary
Lizards are cool. Literally. They are ectotherms, which means they canP#8217;t make their own heat. ThatP#8217;s why you see many types of lizards basking in the sun, seemingly doing nothing at all. ThatP#8217;s the life. But make no mistake, lizards have very busy livesP#8212;looking for food and avoiding being food. Popular science writer Sneed B. Collard III gets down and dirty with all kinds of lizardsP#8212;from your average Pquot;Joe Lizard,Pquot; the western fence lizard, to the impressively large Komodo dragon. In a kid-friendly narrative, Sneed explores many different kinds of lizards, their habitats, defense systems, hunting techniques, and mating rituals. He reveals the exciting life of a lizardP#8212;from rappelling from the tops of trees to the forest floor, to dropping off a tail to get away from a predator.
