A272 Exotic Lizards
The first tetrapods superficially resembled lizards but were far more primitive.
True, modern-day lizards first appear in the fossil record around 150
million years ago. The new clade continued to evolve, resulting in the many
modern species.
This poster shows 31 of the most colorful and interesting lizards. They
include not only the popular iguana, chameleon, and gecko, but also the Gila
monster and monitor lizard. The focus is on the unique, exotic species, such
as the bearded dragon and frill-necked lizard. Captions cite common name,
scientific name, where they are found, and their family.
