LIZARD LIFE CYCLE Animation

good day learners this is east engineering for today's topic we're going to talk about the life cycle of lizard lizards might be underappreciated creatures since they are quite less helpful to us than other animals but little did we know that there are many lizards on planet earth in fact there are more than 5 000 species existing today some people keep them as pets that's like the chameleons birdie dragons and iguanas we might mistake them sometimes as snakes especially the small ones so let's see how they grow to become beautiful lizard so let's start with their birth in most species of lizards the life cycle begins with the lizard hatching from an egg lizards including iguanas geckos and water dragons lay soft and literally eggs the females buried their eggs in holes and leave the eggs on their own they are quite irresponsible for their children since they don't care what happens to them on another perspective they are maybe just that confident that their offspring will survive in the wild some of the mothers will return to warm the eggs to make sure they hatch healthy and those are good parents although few of the lizards give birth to life young like we do some examples are solomon island and blue tongue's king their incubation time is much longer compared to the birds and it varies depending on what type of lizard it is for example filled lizard eggs hatch in approximately 70 days while green iguana eggs hatch in 90 days all eggs have one characteristic in common they contain enough food for the baby to survive inside after they grow their organs bones and their bodies hatchling lizards tried to break open the egg with their egg tooth or car uncle but they remain in the egg for approximately 12 to 24 hours to eat some remaining yolk before actually exploring the world and that's like finishing your plate before you go next is juvenile lizards once they're out of the egg juvenile lizards are now capable of feeding and taking care of themselves that includes hunting smaller animals they are naturally born hunters they grow fast by eating as much as they can without the support of their parents there are no noticeable changes when they grow like metamorphosis in butterflies or in frogs they just increase in size fan fact learners did you know that lizards have some amazing superpowers well first they can climb anywhere using their sticky feet and second they can regenerate faster than other animals if you cut off their tails it will just grow back and sometimes they can go invisible too and lastly they have long stretchable tongue that is lightning fast next is the adult lizards well all animals once fully grown may begin mating with others but mating time or season depends on what species there is like birds they have one whole or genitalia for mating and for excretion an example of mating season is when the frilled lizard mates during the wet season in this time males usually attract females by spreading their frill that looks like they're big heirs like in elephants after mating females like 8 to 23 eggs females may lay up to two sets of eggs each breeding season on the other hand green iguanas begin mating when they are approximately 16 months old mating occurs during the dry season usually in the fall this time they don't have frills instead males attract females with their colors and displays such as head bobbing and push-ups adults mate and lay eggs and the cycle begins all over again so learners even though lizards are underappreciated they control pests too and provide beauty to nature that is all for now hope you learned something today once again this is easy engineering have nice day you
