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)  |

The European Greenfinch (Chloris chloris) is a small passerine of the finch family Fringillidae which is in the genus Chlori.
It has a widespread distribution in Europe, northern Africa and
southwestern Asia. It also occurs as an introduced species in parts of
Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Uruguay. Before the onset of
winter, northern populations migrate to the more temperate areas of its
range. In recent times, there has been a dramatic decline in numbers
due to the spread of trichomonosis disease that effects the digestive
system which results in mortality.
