Lizard Fun Facts!

There are nearly 4000 different types of lizards(species)Lizards first appeared between 100 to 150 million years ago.The Megalania priscus was a giant Austrilian monitor lizrd that reach a length of 23 feet and weighed more than a half a ton.They died off about 25000 years ago.And to clear up any arguments about what is biggest lizard,the komodo dragon is heaviest and the Montitor lizard from New Guinea is the longest at around 13 feet.(There are rumors of reports of a giant monitor lizard in australia that is claimed to have been sited at over 15 feet but we will leave that up to the cryptozoologist lol)and if you dont know cryptozoology is is the search for animals that are hypothesized to exist, but for which conclusive proof is missing. (legendary , mytrhical ,or presumed to be extinct today.)but we will leave cryptozoology to a different blog and stick with the facts here on this blog.
