Importance of Scales for Lizards
Lizards have scales that help regulate their body temperature because they are cold-blooded creatures. These scales also serve as protection, making it difficult for predators to harm them. Additionally, the colors and pigments on the scales help lizards blend into their surroundings and can indicate if they are dangerous or not.
