Lizards Take Over!
How Reptiles Invaded an American City
How Reptiles Invaded an American City
Decades ago, ten Italian wall lizards invaded a major American city — reportedly via a kid’s sock. Ten-year-old George Rau caught them on a family vacation and released them in his Cincinnati back yard. The lizards thrived, and their numbers soared — without damaging the city’s ecosystem. They captivated herpetologists, whose research led to surprising results.
With a close look at the Lazarus Lizards, as they are called, the book looks at invasive species and the work of the Lizard League, a group of biology students who employ scientific methods under the leadership Eric Gangloff, PhD.
The author says, “I truly believe that kids and adults have much to learn from the very ground they walk on,” Hollihan says. “Look down, look up, look across the street and across your town, and there you’ll find things to study. Discovery is so much fun!”
