Summary

This research tests cognitive abilities in European green lizards using inhibitory control and problem-solving tasks. All males solved the detour challenge, and two solved the more complex lid-removal task, demonstrating that reptiles have developed learning abilities. The study advances understanding of reptile cognition and its role in the evolution of animal intelligence.
