A272 - Exotic Lizards
Lizards are among the oldest animals on earth. Some
500 million years ago some fish began changing: gills became
lungs and fins turned into legs. These prehistoric
creatures, called tetrapods, ventured onto the land and
later began to carry their young in internal eggs. These
were the first reptiles and some evolved into dinosaurs and
birds, but others remained reptiles. They continued to
evolve, resulting in the amazing diversity of these animals
today. This poster shows 31 of the most colorful and
interesting lizards. Of course it includes 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. |
