Worldwide, lizards live on every continent except Antarctica. In terms of temperature zones, lizards mainly live in tropical and subtropical regions, with fewer numbers and species in temperate regions, and only a few live in frigid regions, because they like to live in warm places. Different species of lizards live in different places. Some depend on water and live near water, while others are less dependent on water and live in trees, shrubs and even deserts.

1. Where do lizards live

? Lizards are a category of reptiles, which includes many species. From a worldwide perspective, it can be said that different species of lizards are distributed almost all over the world. With the exception of Antarctica, lizards are found on almost every other continent. In terms of temperature zones, most lizards live in tropical and subtropical regions with relatively warm climates. Although it is also distributed in temperate regions, its quantity and variety are obviously less than those in tropical and subtropical regions. There are even fewer in the frigid zone, and only a few lizards live near the Arctic Circle or in the mountains at very high altitudes. They like to live in warm places because they are cold-blooded animals, and the temperature around them has a great impact on their body temperature.

Specifically, different species of lizards live in different places. Some species have a strong dependence on water. They live near the water source and sometimes go to the water. Some species are not strongly dependent on water and live in trees or shrubs. Some lizards live in the desert, and they don't need much water.

2. Can lizards live

in water? As mentioned above, different species of lizards live in different places, and sometimes the differences are relatively large. Some species have a strong dependence on water, they can only live close to the water source, but also directly into the water activities. The number of this kind of lizard is relatively large, such as sea lizard, green water dragon lizard, Yaoshan crocodile lizard and so on. But generally speaking, they don't stay in the water all the time, because they are reptiles after all, and they can only breathe on land, so they sometimes go to the land. But not all lizards can live in the water, and some lizards living in the desert can't.
