Lizards are not the ancestors of dinosaurs. Lepidosauria, the ancestors of modern lizards existed long before dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs and reptiles developed from the same ancestor, Archosaurs but evolutionarily branched off from each other 230 million years ago.

Birds however did evolve from the Theropod dinosaurs, like the tyrannosaurs and velociraptor 160 million years ago.

Everyone say hi to Dune, our Giant Chocolate Millipede, a species of myriapod from western Africa. Myriapods are one of the four families of arthropods, which means jointed appendage. Despite their name, millipedes do not have a thousand legs, the average number of legs is between 34 and 400. Come in and count Dune's legs sometime!
