The European Green Lizard (Lacerta viridis) is a vibrant reptile found across various parts of Europe, particularly in grasslands, forests, and scrub areas. It is known for its striking green coloration, which helps it blend into its natural habitat. Adult lizards can grow up to 30 centimeters in length, including their tail. These lizards are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and they primarily feed on insects, small invertebrates, and occasionally fruits. They are also known for their ability to bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature, making them an important part of their ecosystem.
