The lace monitor is a large lizard that lives in eastern Australia, and it can grow up to 2 metres long. It is a skilled climber that often lives in trees, and it is one of the country's biggest monitor lizards. It is also known as the tree goanna.1

Početna

Lace monitors live in open and closed forests. They often shelter in tree hollows, under fallen trees or large rocks. They also visit places where people live, raiding chicken coops and rummaging through rubbish bins and garbage bags in picnic and recreational areas.1

Što jede?

Lace monitors mainly eat carrion, which is meat from animals that are already dead. They also eat insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds, and eggs and young birds and mammals, especially in spring and early summer. They search for food on the ground and retreat to a nearby tree if disturbed.1

Otrovna snaga

Ugrizi

Otrov izlazi kroz očnjake ili zube kad ugrize.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

Lace monitors have venom glands, and their venom is similar to snake venom, but it is not strong enough to cause serious harm. A bite on the hand can cause swelling within minutes, localised disruption of blood clotting (the blood clots less well in that area), and shooting pain up to the elbow. This pain can often last for several hours.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: BolnoMože jako boljeti, ali gotovo nikad nije ozbiljno.

Its venom is not enough to cause serious harm. Scientists have cautioned that calling these lizards venomous overestimates the medical risk to bite victims.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

When disturbed, lace monitors retreat to a nearby tree.1

Ako ugrize

Operi ranu, smiri osobu i potraži liječničku pomoć.

Uvijek prvo nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911). Ovo su opće upute za prvu pomoć, a ne liječnički savjet. Osnove prve pomoći

Ostani na sigurnom

Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
Ako te neka ugrize: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

Populations near rubbish tips were thirty five times greater than in natural forest, and individuals were around twice as heavy.1

Lace monitors quickly learned to avoid cane toads after they had been poisoned by them.1

One lace monitor was recorded climbing a brick wall to find shelter during a thunderstorm.1

Its closest living relative is the Komodo dragon.1

Razbijač mitova

Mit: Bites from monitors were thought to be dangerous mainly because of infection from bacteria in their mouths.

Istina: Researchers found in 2005 that the immediate effects of bites were more likely caused by venom.1
