When the heat is on, some species of lizards get smarter, new research shows. These lizards are better at learning where to find the best hiding spots, a trait that could help them survive when hunted by predators.

This ability could also be helpful as the Earth warms. Perhaps this increased intelligence will give the lizards a leg up on adapting to climate change, the researchers said.
