In a time so long ago it’s hard to imagine reptiles explored the world in an age before the dinosaurs. There were
probably lizards among them. No fossil trace of them has been found earlier than 170 million years ago but by that
time a variety of true lizards were sharing the planet with the so-called terrible lizards, the dinosaurs.
But keep in mind that lizards are not close relatives of dinosaurs they are a very different group of reptiles. Lizards remained separate from the other groups all have survived into modern times.
Some of the lizards are even poisonous or can change their skin to camouflage with the surrounding environment to avoid predators seeing them. They are stunning to look at and resemble the mythical dragons of fairy tales.
If you’re in search of a name that’s as cool as these miniature dragon-like creatures, you’re in luck, we have compiled a list of 226 cute and funny names for lizards.
