Lizards appeared on the Earth about 200 million years ago, and there are approximately 5,000 species of lizards on the planet today. Most lizards have long bodies and tails, small heads, short necks, and moveable eyelids. Like many other reptiles, lizards are suffering from a combination of habitat destruction, climate change, predation, and the illegal pet trade. As a result, many are on the IUCN Red List.
