"They can make a lot of different habitats work for them," Donihue explained. "They're pretty adapted to living alongside humans," emphasizing their remarkable ability to thrive in various settings.
From their origins in the Mediterranean to their colonization of North America, the Italian wall lizard has demonstrated remarkable adaptability, thriving in urban landscapes.
Observers, including biologist Colin Donihue, have documented sightings across urban areas, signalling a thriving population of these lizards amidst human activity.
