📝 Quick summary of key information

Why do lizards love to sunbathe?

Lizards love to bask in the sun because they are cold-blooded animals. This means they can't control their temperature like humans. They need the sun's warmth to get warm and be active.

Lizards lie in the sun to warm up. This helps them move faster and catch insects. They become more agile and quick.

Lizards are helpful in their environment. They eat insects, which helps control their numbers. They are also food for other animals like birds and snakes.

Lizards live in different places, like deserts, forests, and gardens. They love sunny spots where they can warm up easily. They run fast and can climb trees or walls with their sticky feet.

Leo the Lizard and Magic Warmth

Why do lizards love to bask in the sun?

The Discovery of Leo the Lizard

Since meeting Gaspard the Jerboa, Sami and Sélia learned that jerboas jump so high to escape predators‎ (1) and to reach rare desert plants. They watched Gaspard leap gracefully‎ (2) under the moon, discovering the secrets of these small desert rodents' agile‎ (3) movements. After exploring the singing dunes, the two young fennecs head towards the Oasis‎ (4) of Wonders. The sun shines brightly, and the desert heat wraps‎ (5) around every grain of sand. Sami and Sélia, curious and eager for new adventures, decide to venture towards an isolated rock where they spot a stretched-out shape.

Sami, curious, asks:
« What is that? »

Sélia, after looking closely, says:
« Look, it's Leo the Lizard! »

After seeing Leo the Lizard, they slowly walk up to him. Leo, feeling their presence, opens one eye and greets them with a slight nod. Sami, always curious, asks why Leo is warming up like this.

Sami, curious, asks:
« Why are you warming up in the sun, Leo the Lizard? »

Leo the Lizard, in a calm voice, explains:
« I am a cold-blooded animal. The sun's heat gives me energy. »

Sélia, curious about Leo the Lizard's words, asks:
« And why do you need energy? »

Leo the Lizard says:
« To move faster and hunt. This way, I can avoid predators. »

While talking to Leo the Lizard, they spot an old‎ (6) mark carved‎ (7) in the rock beneath him... a new clue that brings them closer to the hidden treasure!

The Secret of the Warm Rocks

Sami and Sélia look closely at the carved mark. They realize that this discovery could lead them to a hidden treasure.

Sami, curious, asks:
« What is this mark, Leo the Lizard? »

Leo the Lizard, after looking at the mark, says:
« It is an old human mark. »

Sélia, curious, asks:
« Why is it important? »

Leo the Lizard, curious, adds:
« It shows important places. »

Sami, excited, says:
« Let's follow the mark! »

Sélia, curious, suggests:
« Let's ask Leo the Lizard if he knows this mark. »

Leo the Lizard, curious about the discovery, explains:
« This mark shows the way to a secret oasis. »

After following the mark shown by Leo the Lizard, Sami and Sélia head towards a rocky area. They find Leo the Lizard lying on a rock in the bright sunshine. He explains how he uses the heat to move faster and feel great. While talking to Leo the Lizard, they spot an old mark carved into the stone beneath him. This mark, which they had seen before, brings them even closer to the hidden treasure. Curious, they ask Leo the Lizard if he knows about this mark. Leo the Lizard then tells them that this mark shows the way to a secret oasis.
