Oxydactylus

Oxydactylus is a type of lizard that is known for having long, thin toes that help it climb trees and other surfaces easily. Imagine a lizard with really long fingers and toes that can grip onto things like a monkey would.

These lizards are also known for their ability to change color depending on their surroundings. So, if they are on a green tree branch, they might turn green to blend in and avoid being seen by predators.

When they are born, oxydactylus lizards are very tiny and helpless, and rely on their mothers to protect and care for them until they are strong enough to fend for themselves. They may be cute, but it's important to remember to give them their space and not disturb them in their natural habitat.
