Definition
The genus *Xenosaurus* encompasses a group of reptiles known as knob-scaled lizards. These lizards are characterized by their distinctive, bumpy scales, which give them a somewhat armored appearance. They're primarily found in specific regions of Mexico and Central America. Think of them as the cool, scaled cousins of more common lizard types. Unlike some lizards that bask openly, *Xenosaurus* species are often secretive, preferring rocky crevices and shaded habitats. They are like the introverted artists of the lizard world, preferring quiet contemplation to the spotlight.
