Lizard communication
Lizards are among the most diverse groups of reptiles with more than 5,600 species. With such diversity in physical and behavioral characteristics, lizards have evolved many different ways to communicate. Lizards communicate to gain information about the individuals around them by paying attention to various characteristics exhibited by individuals and using various physical and behavioral traits to communicate. These traits differ based on the mode of communication being used. Lizards have evolved to have different systems of communication depending on habitat, method of sexual selection, predator avoidance, and the communication needs of the species.
