Lizards belong to the class Reptilia and are scientifically known as members of the suborder Lacertilia within the order Squamata.
Snakes are members of the Order Squamata, which also includes lizards. They are elongated, legless reptiles with flexible bodies and jaws that allow them to swallow prey whole. Snakes play important roles in ecosystems as both predators and prey.
Examples of squamata include snakes, lizards, and amphisbaenians (worm lizards). These reptiles are characterized by their overlapping scales and the presence of a movable quadrate bone that allows them to open their jaws wide to swallow prey.
