Lizards are a large and widespread group of reptiles of the order Squamata, with nearly 5,000 species and ranging across all continents except Antarctica. Most lizards have four limbs, external ears, a long tail, and are insectivores.

Many can shed their tails in order to escape from predators, though this trait is not universal. Vision, including color vision, is particularly well developed in lizards, and most communicate with body language or bright colors on their bodies as well as via pheromones.

Like all other species of Earth lizards too have undergone evolution. One will be surprised to know that lizards where once as big as dinosaurs which ruled the earth millions of year ago. Lizards arose from early reptiles about 200 million years ago and are found on all the continents except Antarctica.

There are about 3,750 species of lizards, making them one of the largest and most successful groups of reptiles. here is the video of a lizard that looks similar to a dinosaur.
