Enigmatic lizards somehow survived near Chicxulub asteroid impact

Turns out, some tough little lizards might have been the ultimate survivors of the dinosaur apocalypse. While the Chicxulub asteroid wiped out most life (including the non-avian dinosaurs) 66 million years ago, a scrappy group called night lizards apparently hung on near ground zero. Scientists are baffled but impressed—these could be the only land vertebrates that pulled off such a feat in the impact zone.
