Order: Squamata
With over 9,000 species, the Scaled Lizards is the second largest order behind Perciform Fish. There are 53 Families here. In order to reduce the number of connections on this page I have grouped them by Infraorders, Suborders, and Superfamiles. Many of the different groups within Squmata have animals with the name 'lizard'.
