Our storybooks are full of lizards, but we usually call them something else--dragons, serpents, dinosaurs or monsters.
They can blend into a vast range of environments, from rocky coasts to deserts to rai.
Lizards stimulate the human imagination unlike most other animals, despite generally being small, soundless, and hidden from sight in burrows, treetops, and crevices.
These stories vastly increase their size, bestow wings upon them, make them exhale flame, and endow them with magical powers.
