I had no idea there are more than 6000 species of lizards, that's amazing!
Really? I am surprised there are that many. What is the biggest?
The Komodo dragon is the biggest, in fact, they can grow to be larger than a car.
I would be very frightened to encounter a Komodo dragon as big as my car. What do they eat?
They are mainly carnivores and can eat mammals as big as a water buffalo! I wouldn't want to meet one for dinner that's for sure.
That is amazing! So were the dinosaurs distant cousins of today's lizards?
Some say that is true it depends on which scientific theories you believe in.
I see. Considering some dinosaurs were herbivores that could mean there was no connection.
Oh there is definitely some connection. You may want to check out scientist's new way of classification, which was released in March 2017. It shows the correlation.
