A snake-eyed skink on a Romanian stamp of 1965. It gets its name because the eyelid is fused, meaning the skink - like snakes - cannot blink. Snake-eyed skinks have weak arms and therefore move somewhat like snakes do.
A giant girdled (or girdle-tailed) lizard, also known as the sungazer, on a 2000 stamp from South Africa. In 2011 it was placed in a new genus called Smaug (after the dragon in The Hobbit).
A Cuban rock iguana on a 1982 stamp. These iguanas have a length of up to 16 inches from snout to tip of tail. They often nest in sites previously occupied by Cuban crocodiles, and are mainly herbivorous.
A marine iguana on a 1936 Ecuador stamp, from a set for the centenary of Darwin's visit to the Galapagos Islands. This species of iguana, found in the wild only on the islands, is the only one to seek food in the sea - looking for algae.
