Hi, I find lizards fascinating!
They are very interesting, and there are so many different kinds of them, 6000 species!
Oh my gosh! 6000 species? That sounds unbelievable... what areas do they live in?
They can actually be found in every continent except Antarctica.
Interesting. I wonder why not Antarctica. Do they have to live in hot areas only? Or they just haven't got to travel there?
I think it's because reptiles need enough heat to survive. That place is too cold for them.
That makes sense. They look like crocodiles and gators so they probably have the same "needs" - do you really think they came from Dinosaurs?
, birds were the only dinosaur lineage to survive the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. Dinosaurs can therefore be divided into "avian dinosaurs", or birds; and "non-avian dinosaurs", which are all dinosaurs other than birds. This article deals primarily with non-avian dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs are a varied group of animals from taxonomic, morphological and ecological standpoints. Birds, at over 10,000 living species, are the most diverse group of vertebrates besides perciform fish. Using fossil evidence, paleontologists
genera and over 2,500 known species found in every continent except Antarctica. They are particularly concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and South America. One estimate lists 258 species in Madagascar alone. Apart from oceanic islands, notable places that do not host lymantriines include the Antilles and New Caledonia.
Description.
Adult moths of this subfamily do not feed. They usually have muted colours (browns and greys), although some are white, and tend to be very hairy. Some females are flightless
