2114 Born pretty, Lizard day , Lizard nails


 World Lizard Day, celebrated on 14th August every year. As with most of the oddities, the origins of this day are unclear, but it is being celebrated across political boundaries by the niche of reptile-lovers, conservationists and educators.
Lizards are cold-blooded reptiles that live around the world in many different habitats, from the urban sprawl to the Amazonian rainforest. Different species feed differently, and there are insectivorous, omnivorous as well as carnivorous species. Many species are rare and difficult to study, leading to a paucity of scientific research around their biology and habits. It is common knowledge that lizards are able to drop their tails if caught by them, and run away completely unharmed. Their tails do grow back usually, but not as smoothly as the originals. An interesting and more obscure fact is that horned lizards can squirt blood from their eyes to confuse and foil predators and protect themselves.
There are over 5600 species of lizards alive today, and many of them are endangered species, with habitat loss and predation by non-native species like cats and dogs being the primary threats. There are some venomous species, like the largest true lizard, the Komodo Dragon, and the famous Gila Monster.
