One can come up with a million questions when it comes to using Google Trends for finding the latest trends in terms of lizard fish. Why not just use the search engine that was built by Google – you wouldn’t know where you’d been unless you typed it in! If you are using Google Trends, you need to be careful when finding the trend because there are plenty of other sites out there which use the search engine to find the latest trends in terms of pet searches.

Let’s examine the question, “Why should I search for lizard fish in Google Trends?” The chart displays the yearly evolution of the number of appearances of the term lizard fish in various printed sources throughout the last 500 years. It is calculated on the basis of using the number of times the term is mentioned in digitalised online sources over the same period. Its calculation is based on the application of a very simple mathematical equation to calculate the number of appearances of the term over this period.

It is easy to see that the exponential increase in the number of mentions of lizard fish in the digitalised versions over the last few decades is directly proportional to the rise in the numbers of fishes, specifically Teleost fish, that are used as pets. In the beginning, there were very few fish species that were commercially viable. As the numbers of commercial fish species grew, more people started keeping ornamental fish for the purposes of displaying in their homes. In response, the fish farming industry was created. This required more fish farms and more mouths to feed them!

Therefore, we have seen that the explosion in the sale of lizard fish has been directly proportional to the exponential increase in the numbers of ornamental fish keeping enthusiasts around the world. So, how did the term ‘lizard fish’ originate? Well, it is not quite clear. One theory is that it was adopted from the ‘Lizards and Toads’ term that is used in Great Britain. This term referred to common frogs and toads in that country.

The term ‘Lizard Fish’ got into the US during the late 1960’s and began appearing regularly in print in such publications as the Guide to Great Cats and Dogs (cyclorama Books, 1970). It seemed to be a term that was unique to Britain. But it seems that it originated in Great Britain also and may have appeared first. It may have been an offshoot of the more common ‘Toad’ or ‘Frogmouth’ term that was used. In any case, the use of’Lizard Fish’ as a generic term soon spread outside of Britain too, and by the mid-eighties had become widely accepted throughout Europe and America. By the late eighties, it was common to see frogs and toads that looked just like lizards in catalogs, whereas earlier they had been associated with ‘Salamanders’ and other small fish.

General descriptions of this genus include small, long-bodied animals with bulbous heads and dense bodies, with an extended neck and prehensile fins. They are sometimes called ‘Spotted Sunfish’ due to their tendency to occur in clusters. Owing to their spiny skin and sharp teeth, they are capable of inflicting a painful and often dangerous bite. Their name comes from the tendency of these animals to move around in circles, with each circle representing a potential hazard. These circular flanks may also have an ‘R’ shape.

Like all members of the genus Cynodon, lizard fish can be easily recognized by their elongated bodies, short legs, and elongated snouts. Their names in various locations reflect this general pattern, including both the genus Cynodon (Crested dragons) in Australia and the genus Squirellus (Lynxopsidius). It should be noted that although many of their body features are similar to those of other reptiles, they are not closely related to any other species of lizards. For this reason, they are commonly referred to as true reptiles.

In Australia, there is a common freshwater species known as the ‘Siberian Lynx’ which is slightly larger than a lizard. As it is generally not seen above water, it is difficult to determine if this fish has any dorsal or anal fins at all. The only way to recognize this species confidently is through its distinctive set of bright yellow teeth. Unlike most lizards, this species possesses teeth with rows of highly developed points rather than sharp edges, which are also characteristic of true reptiles. Other subtle characteristics of this species include relatively large scales on the body, short legs, webbed feet, and elongate eyes.
