Lizards - Just like snakes, a lizard sticks out its tongue to

catch scent particles in the air and then pulls back its tongue

and places those particles on the roof of its mouth, where

there are special sensory cells. The lizard can use these scent

“clues” to find food or a mate or to detect enemies.

 They have a fleshy forked tongue for easy trapping of their
prey.

 They have movable eye lids.

 They moult to grow new skins and increase in size.

 They have suction pads on their feet to enable them walk
upside down the ceilings.

 Chameleons feed on insects such as mosquitoes, house flies
using its sticky forked tongue.
