The Viviparous Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) is a small reptile found in various habitats across Europe and parts of Asia. Unlike many lizards that lay eggs, this species gives birth to live young, a trait known as viviparity. They typically inhabit grasslands, heathlands, and woodlands, where they can often be seen basking in the sun. These lizards have a slender body, smooth scales, and can vary in color, often displaying shades of brown, green, or gray. They primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates. The Viviparous Lizard is known for its adaptability to different environments, making it a resilient species.
