The family Pygopodidae is a group of legless lizards found in Australia. They are also commonly known as shinglebacks, flap-footed lizards, and scaled lizards. Shinglebacks are so named because their scales overlap each other like shingles on a roof. Flap-footed lizards have wide, flat toes used for gripping rocks and climbing. Scaled lizards have distinctive rows of large, sharp scales on their back. Pygopodidae is a unique family of lizards due to their legless bodies and specialized toes, and they are popular among reptile enthusiasts for their docile nature and interesting appearance.
