Fossorial

admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 06:33:36 +0000

To this group belong most of the limbless lizards. The creatures discussed here are those that live underground all or most of the time. Typically these lizards are specialized by having cylindrical bodies, pointed snouts, reduced eyes, and the external ear absent. The nostril is usually set horizontally, as opposed to facing upward in most lizards. The head shields are usually enlarged.

Those families whose members are fossorial are the Dibamidae, Anniellidae, some Scincidae, and some Pygopodidae. The earless monitor, Lanthanotus, may be fossorial or at least semifossorial. The genus Dibamus contains six diminutive species found in Southeast Asia. The largest may be eight inches long and the body is very thin as well.

The Komodo Dragon

admin — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 00:23:40 +0000

Although not venomous, there are certain other lizards that can be a lot to reckon with if disturbed. The monitor lizards, genus Varanus, include the largest living lizards. The true giants, such as the Komodo dragon, Perentie, or water monitor, could easily dispatch a man. The teeth, claws, and weight of these lizards would make them a formidable bunch of adversaries. Indeed some, like the Komodo dragon, rule supreme in their native haunts.

While not overtly aggressive, even the moderately large monitors will turn on a potential threat. The smaller species of Varanus, as well as Tupinambis and Dracaena, could cause severe wounds and are reportedly capable of removing a finger. While not poisonous as such, a bite from one of these creatures could be quite serious. The large size and bad temper of the Komodo dragon make it unsuitable for handling, even if it were still legal to own them.

A proper reptile to begin with is a vertebrate animal. It has scales , breathes air , not water, characteristically lays shelled eggs an depends on outside sources for its heat and warmth. There are in the world and on the globe only five main animals that fit into this group and grouping. They are in sequence – turtles , lizards , the snakes the crocodillians and the most strange and odd including a strange little creature called the tuatara , which somehow looks remarkably like a lizard but is not. Indeed tuatara , a native creature of New Zealand is in grave danger of becoming extinct.

In this latest range of geologic history. there are approximately 6,000 species of reptiles scattered around the earth. Though reptiles are most diverse as well as numerous in warmer climes and regions . they range as far northward as well turning up as far north as Sweden, Siberia as well as other colder climates that you would think would not harbor and sustain these creatures. Reptiles as well inhabit desert areas of the planet.
