If you think you have to go on safari to see some cool wild animals, then think again! We’ve tracked down some fascinating wild animals - and they can all be found living in the UK!

Lizards
Most of us are used to seeing lizards in warm places like Spain, but if you look carefully you can find lizards living wild in the UK. Like British snakes, lizards hibernate in the winter to avoid the cold. The common lizard lives in heaths and cliffs, and loves sunbathing on rocks. Sand Lizards can also be found in Britain, but they are very rare.

Where could I spot one?
The most common place to spot a lizard is in southern Britain, but you could spot a common lizard on the Merseyside coast in the sand dunes. If you do spot a sand lizard, try to take a picture like ours above!
