I think lizards are full of character, they take a pick at you as you go by and they can hide and still pick at you as you go by...My kids love them too, it's a blessing to have healthy nature in the backyard ;)
We, also, have 12 Deers, a family of Racoons with the mother we named LooLoo, few Bob Cats (I think they are domesticated by now), wild Yellow Beak Pigeons (they look huge and heavy), Red wing Hawks on the Pine Tree (they hatch twice throughout summer and are very loud), Owls at night...Butterflies and Hummingbirds at day time...it's like wildlife pocket in the middle of the city.
