探索与发现
在我们日常生活的角落，隐藏着一群不起眼的小动物，它们以其敏捷的爬行和独特的生存策略赢得了“小蜘蛛”的美称——壁虎。它们无处不在，从墙角到屋顶，从花园到家庭装饰中，壁虎成为了城市生物界的一员。
自然选择下的奇迹
壁虎是无脊椎动物中最为成功的一个类群之一，它们拥有数百万年的演化历史。在这漫长的时间里，壁虎学会了如何适应各种不同的环境，不论是在干燥的沙漠还是潮湿的地窖，都有它自己的栖息地。它们能够快速变换颜色，以此来进行伪装，与周围环境融为一体，这种能力使得它们成为观察者难以捕捉到的隐形者。

Lizards tend to eat insects while snakes tend to eat other small animals.
Birds of prey such as hawks and eagles also feed on small reptiles.
Wall lizards can climb up walls which makes them difficult to catch by birds of prey.
Chameleons use their camouflage abilities to hide from predators like birds of prey.
Geckos can change color too which helps them avoid being caught by predators like birds of prey or other animals.
Iguanas live in tropical regions where there is plenty food available so they don't need to hunt much.
