    We are quite interested to identify each living organism shown. In this respect in most cases it is important to know where the picture has been taken.

The European green lizard, ''Lacerta viridis'', is a large lizard distributed across European midlatitudes from Slovenia and eastern Austria to as far east as the Black Sea coasts of Ukraine and Turkey. It is often seen sunning on rocks or lawns, or sheltering amongst bushes.
