Bruinj and the lizards keep playing reproductive strategies and traits in tropiduridae species


The Tropidurinae are a subfamily of Iguanids lizards native to South America, including the islands of Trinidad and the Galápagos. Commonly known as Neotropical ground lizards, most are ground-dwelling animals, and the family includes some lizards adapted to relatively cold climates, including those of the Andes mountains and Tierra del Fuego. Several species give birth to live young.
