Discover the fascinating world of viviparous lizards, like the Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) pictured here, a vibrant female of this viviparous species basking in the early spring sun. Unlike most reptiles, viviparous lizards give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. Three varieties of viviparous lizards include the Green Lizard (Lacerta vivipara), the Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis), and the Viviparous Sheeps-fescue Lizard (Festuca vivipara), a unique lizard found in Europe that lives among grasses. This captivating creature can be seen in Curtis's British Entomology Plate 653, and a close-up of its eggs can be found in Picture No. 10891540. Marvel at the wonder of viviparity in these intriguing reptiles.
