The Eastern Glass Lizard looks like a snake but is actually a lizard! It has a long, smooth body and can lose its tail to escape from predators, which will grow back later.
Hábitat: Grasslands
The Eastern Glass Lizard has a long, slender, legless body that ranges from yellowish to brown, often with faint dark stripes. It features movable eyelids, small ear openings, and a distinct lateral groove along its sides, differentiating it from a snake.
