  Though lizards may look like miniature dinosaurs, their lineage isn't so simple. Find out about the different families they've broken into -- gekkos, iguanas, and skinks -- and their anatomical structure from their longer and stronger hind legs, to the tails that help them balance, to their scaly bodies. Close-up shots, many in color, capture countless details from the flying gecko's adhesive toe pads and webbed feet; the chameleon's coiled, prehensile tail; the iguanas dorsal crest; the gila monster's purplish tongue; and the Australian frilled lizard's neck ruff.
