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

Botlhole jo e bo tsenyang bo dira eng?
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

Dintlha
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
