Diurnal
3 of 65

Able to carry up to 850 times their body weight
25 of 65
Great Crested Newt - Habitat?
Lowland (e.g bush lands, meadows, parks, gardens, pastures and ponds). They usually hibernate under logs and stones. Need an aquatic and land habitat.
26 of 65

44 of 65
Sand Lizard - Diet?
They feed on fruit, flower heads and inverts like slugs and spiders
45 of 65
BONUS! Sand Lizard - Feeding Behaviours?
They forage for their food and hunt for their prey via an ambush technique. They feed daily but can survive long periods if food is unavailable.
46 of 65

Diurnal - hunting and basking in the day and sheltering in burrows at night
47 of 65
Sand Lizard - Seasonal Patterns?
They hibernate from November to March
48 of 65
Sand Lizard - Social Structure?
Solitary species, except for breeding. They leave their eggs once they have been laid so have no role in parenting.
49 of 65
Slow Worm - Habitat?
