Podarcis hispanicus, commonly known as the Iberian wall lizard, is a species of lizard native to the Iberian Peninsula, which includes parts of Spain and Portugal. This lizard typically inhabits rocky areas, grasslands, and shrublands, where it can often be seen basking in the sun. The Iberian wall lizard is characterized by its slender body, long tail, and a variety of color patterns, which can range from green to brown. It plays an important role in its ecosystem as both a predator of insects and prey for larger animals, contributing to the balance of its habitat.
