I BET YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW THIS......
I LIKE THE ELECTRONIC KIND....
LIZARD
How do lizards communicate?
Lizards in the suborder Iguania communicate by doing
push-ups and other athletic displays. They convey
territoriality, courtship displays, and other messages
with various combinations of push-ups, body postures,
head movements, and displays of colorful belly patches
or throat dewlaps.
The Iguania includes the common sagebrush lizards of
the American west, as well as iguanas and tropical
anoles. Different species have different languages,
and within each species there may be regional
"dialects."
A recent study showed that, like the languages of
humans and some kinds of birds, lizard body language
is an open grammatical system. This means that they
can express many different messages using a fixed set
of symbols combined in various orders.
