As they mature, they tend to be more herbivorous, sticking to fruits and vegetables.…

    The Komodo Dragon, even though living in a the tropical climate of Indonesia, prefers the hot, low, dry areas of grasslands and the openness of the savannas. However, its not uncommon to find a Komodo Dragon resting in the canopy of a tropical forest. The aridness of a grassland allows this gargantuan lizard to blend very well with its surroundings due to the tinge of its brown scales. The Komodo Dragon will make burrows underground to house itself and its eggs if it has any. Much like the Komodo Dragon, the Mojave Rattlesnake prefers the low altitude grasslands and savannas. However, it will stay in arid areas and never venture into vegetation as it agitates the rattlesnakes tongue-flicking senses. The Mojave Rattlesnake will also make burrows in the ground but will seek refuge under rocks or on a cliff side as well. It is also brown, and tan scales make it very easy for it to blend well with the region so the prey has a lower chance of finding the sinister presence.…

Lizards are the largest group of reptiles with more than 4300 species around the world. Lizards are found in sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. Lizards come in different shapes and sizes. Most of the lizards are quite small have four legs and have a fragile tail that can regenerate when part of it is gone. They look similar to salamanders. Lizards are ectoderms meaning they cold blooded, meaning they depend on outside sources like the sun, to raise and maintain their body temperatures. Eating habits for lizards is very different, it depends on the species. Some lizards feed on iguanas which are insects, some eat rodents, and some eat both rodents and insects. Lizards use their teeth to scare predators off as protection. Very few lizards happen to be poisonous and use their venom as a defence. Other species of lizards rely on camouflage such as the chameleon that is able to change its colour according to its surroundings, as a defensive strategy. Females of most lizard species lay eggs and then are usually left to hatch on their own. The most well-known venomous lizards are the Gila monster and he Mexican Beaded Lizard.
