In fact, they are all from different continents! However, they all live in the same biome. In a short paragraph of at least three sentences, explain why this is the case.
Answer
Answer:
Biomes are classified by shared climate and characteristic plant and animal life, not by continent. These lizards live in desert environments found on different continents, where rainfall is low and vegetation is sparse. They have adaptations that help them survive in similar dry conditions, even though they live thousands of miles apart.
