Scroll the blog for once and have a look at the first picture. Can you spot the chimpanzee? Well, of course. The chimpanzee is clearly visible. Can you spot the lizard though? Well, not that easily. 

Before we start our discussion on lizards, let us first do a LIZARD-CHECK. Wait, never heard of it? This is actually a test you may never find on the internet, but it actually ensures a good, fearless night of sleep. The LIZARD-CHECK we are talking about is pretty simple. Simply enter the room you are going to spend the night in and look at the ceiling. Pay close attention to every corner of the ceiling. Now, look at the windows, every corner of the windows, and the gate of the room. Once done, finally have a keen look at the floor of the room. Check in every corner. Were you able to find any lizards in the room? If not, then we congratulate you on a good night's sleep. If you did find a lizard in the room, then that may be something to worry about.

Lizards are indeed creepy beings. While we have immense love for all the creatures on the planet, it won't be wrong to say that all of us have a certain repulsion towards reptiles, and lizards are one of the most common reptiles that can be found in almost every place where an ordinary human spends most of his time in the day. One can find a lizard in the office, or one may find one staring straight into the bedroom. Kitchens are also popular places for reptiles to be.

Have you ever closely observed a lizard? Well, it is so correct that at the glance of a lizard, one does normally think of staring back at it; instead one plans to immediately rush out of the room. However, an inquisitive mind never misses a moment to observe the world. In case you have ever looked at a lizard carefully, you would probably find that lizards move slowly and take long pauses. Sometimes it may seem that the lizard is making extraordinary plans in her mind, maybe a conspiracy against the owner of the house, before making a move. Jokes apart, while lizards are way small in size compared to human beings, they still look scary!
