Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between a snake’s diet and a lizard’s diet.

Introduction:

The reptilian lineage diverged into two divisions: Lepidosauria (scaly lizards) and the Archosauria (ruler turtle). Lepidosauria is further branched in three divisions: Ichthyosaurs (whales), Plesiosaurs, and Squamates (lizards and snake). The word squama means “to scale,” in Squamates. The skin of snakes and lizards consists of scales that provide protection against dehydration.
