Lizards are reptiles. While some reptiles may be just as happy (if not happier) in the water as out of it (crocodiles, alligators, turtles, snakes), amphibians are biologically adapted to aquatic living (salamanders, frogs, toads). Among the more striking differences between reptiles and amphibians is their skin; reptiles have tough scales where amphibians do not - amphibians tend to produce a mucous layer to keep their skin moist (slimy).

A lizard is a reptile. Reptiles encompass a group of animals that have dry, scaly skin, and are cold-blooded, laying eggs to reproduce. Amphibians, on the other hand, are a separate group of animals that usually have moist, smooth skin and undergo metamorphosis from larvae to adults, like frogs and salamanders.
