All vertebrates fall under one phylum, chordata; invertebrates, on the other hand, include over 30 different phyla, collectively accounting for 98 to 99 percent of all known animal species.

Next is the the phylum, with lizards being in the phylum Chordata. The phylum is broken into classes. Lizards belong in a large class of animals called Reptilia.

Like snakes, lizards belong to the animal kingdom, phylum Chordata (animals with backbones--also known as vertebrates). They are reptiles. Wisconsin's four species of lizards represent three of the lizard families.

Taxonomically, mammals are animals (Kingdom Animalia) and belong to the Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata.
