lizards have really good camouflage, so if a predator is coming the way it will hide is by climbing up on something that has the same design as it's back on it. lizards come in all different sizes, some are tiny, and others are huge. lizards belong to a group of animals called reptiles along with crocodiles, alligators, and, and many more. lizards live on every continent except Antarctica. lizards have tails that can reach up to 3 feet. if a lizards tail gets cut off it might be able to grow it back. some lizards hibernate during summer. lizards are really awesome reptiles, well in my opinion.
My blog is to learn about nature animals and mainly living things and creatures i hope you enjoy reading my blog have a good day!

bat
bats are the only flying mammals. their wings are made of leathery skin. most bats sleep during the day, hanging upside down in caves, attics, and other dark places. they come out at night to hunt. bats find things in the dark by giving out a series of high-pitch clicks. the bats tell where they areand locate (find) prey from the echoes (sounds that bounce back to them) this is called echolocation. bats do not blind, their eyesight os as good as that of most humans. there are 900 species of bat, living on all continents except Antarctica. most bats feed on insects, but fruit bats feed on fruit. many tropical flowers rely on fruit bats to spread their pollen. i think a bat is a very awesome mammal.
monkeys
monkeys belong to a pack of mammals called primates, along with apes, gorillas, human, lemurs, and lorises. habitat is another word for where something lives, and the habitat of a monkey is normally in trees, and their hands have fingers and their feet have toes that are all meant for gripping branches to climb trees. most monkeys also have tails. monkeys (from the Americans) live in treesand often have muscular tails that can grip like a hand. these tails are described as prehensile. i think monkeys are a cool type of primate.
