This viviparous reptile gives birth to live young, which is an
adaptation that enables it to breed in colder regions where it
hibernates for the winter. In the warmer parts of its range, it is oviparous or egg laying like other species of lizards and is active year round. Patrick J. O'Keeffe / Raw Birds Distribution map of Viviparous Lizard (Zootoca vivipara)  |
