The spiny-tailed monitor is a lizard from northern and western Australia. It lives among dry, rocky hills and is known for its round tail covered in spiny scales. It is a small monitor, and it hides in rock cracks and burrows during the day.1

Leef in

Northern Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and western and north-western Queensland1

Australië & Oseanië

Lengte

70 cm (2,3 ft)1

Topspoed

omtrent 12 km/h (7,5 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It hunts mainly arthropods such as grasshoppers, beetles, spiders, centipedes and snails. It also eats small lizards, which make up about a third of its diet, and sometimes marsupial joeys.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Upper side is a rich, dark brown with bright yellowish to cream spots, which often enclose a few dark scales1
Tail is round in section and has very spiny scales1
Tail is about 1.3 to 2.3 times as long as the head and body combined1
Pale longitudinal stripes run along the neck1
Has 70 to 115 scales around the middle of the body1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is similar to V. baritji and V. primordius. The spiny-tailed monitor can be told apart by the pale stripes on its neck, which those two species do not have.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

As dit byt

Was die wond, hou die persoon kalm en kry mediese hulp.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

About 70% of the water this lizard needs comes from its food.1

Females have been seen sharing large burrows and nesting together in them.1

Sheltering underground gives it access to humid conditions, which helps it stay hydrated in a very dry land.1

Pet-trade spiny-tailed monitors are sold as two colour types, the red ackie and the yellow ackie, which are likely two different subspecies.1
