Not all lizards have four legs. There are legless lizards and those with only their hind legs. They have evolved this way to adapt to their environment where burrowing into holes is a necessity and legs would just get in the way. Diversity among the lizard population is evident in size as well. The Gecko is very small compared to the Gila Monster, but neither lack in agility and swiftness, a trait shared by most lizards.
Lizards abound in ancient cultures and history.
Some cultures feared lizards and created superstitions such as if a lizard bit the shadow of an unsuspecting person, they were then doomed to die. Other cultures revere the lizard and have positive beliefs. Asian cultures believe that if a Gecko calls from the bedroom of newlyweds, they shall lead a long and prosperous life together. Many countries utilize the lizard in ceremonies, still practiced today. Some Indian tribes of North America used lizard tails in a recipe for love potions.
