10 lizards were smuggled into Cincinnati in a sock. Now there are tens of thousands. Native to Europe, common wall lizards are growing bigger, faster, and more resilient in Ohio. Scientists say the city itself may be driving their evolution.

Thrilled to see *National Geographic* highlight the wall lizards living in Cincinnati and our research on these little guys!

Yes! The stories are true! Lazarus Lizards in Cincy (and the surrounding area) originate from a single introduction in the early 1950s. We've been studying these guys for the past 5 years to understand how it is they do so well in this urban environment on a different continent. #WalliesWorld
