Perentie
The perentie is one of the largest lizards alive, and the largest in Australia. It lives in the dry deserts of the west, centre and north of the country, where it is rarely seen. It is a powerful hunter that eats a wide range of animals, and it is important in many Aboriginal cultures.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Head and neck are creamy-white with a net-like (reticulated) pattern of black lines and flecks.1
- Body is yellow or cream, with brown rosette markings on the back.1
- Limbs are dark with white spots.1
- Very lean for a large monitor, so much less bulky than a rock monitor of similar length.1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: Rock monitors can reach a similar length, but they are much bulkier. Perenties are very lean for their size.1

Maxay samaysaa suntiisa (qaniin ama mudid)?
Researchers at the University of Melbourne found in 2005 that monitors may be somewhat venomous, which means they inject mild venom with a bite. A perentie bite can cause swelling within minutes, localised disruption of blood clotting (the blood's ability to clot is affected in the area), and shooting pain up to the elbow that can last several hours.1

Khatarta dadka: Xanuun badanAad buu u xanuunjin karaa, laakiin ku dhowaad weligiis khatar weyn ma aha.The bite can do much damage, not only from the teeth but also from the oral secretions.1
Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
If threatened, a perentie will usually freeze flat on the ground or run away. If cornered, it stands its ground, inflates its throat, hisses, strikes with its tail, and may lunge with its mouth open.1
Haddii uu qaniino
- Dhaq nabarka, qofka ka dhig mid deggan oo hel caawimaad caafimaad.

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
Perenties eat other monitor lizards, including a 2 m perentie that was seen killing and eating a 1.5 m one.1
They often stand on their back legs and tail to get a better view, a behaviour called "tripoding".1
Perenties are among the largest living lizards, after the Komodo dragon, Asian water monitor and crocodile monitor.1
Perenties can dig a burrow for shelter in only minutes.1
The species was first named the "gigantic water lizard", even though it lives in dry desert country.1
The perentie has long been important to desert Aboriginal peoples, who ate it as food and used its fat for medicinal and ceremonial purposes.1
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: Monitor lizard bites were thought to cause problems only because of infection from bacteria in the animal's mouth.
Run: Researchers showed that the immediate effects of monitor bites, including swelling and pain, are caused by mild envenomation.1
