Lizards of Ohio: Our Overlooked Reptiles

We usually think of lizards as living in warmer climates and especially in deserts. And yet, Ohio has five species of its own--one accidentally naturalized from another part of the world. Lizards in our state also keep a low profile, being relatively small, good at camouflage, and very fast, so the average person rarely spots them.
