Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard, and its size is unusual among reptiles.1

Its teeth are replaced about every 40 days, and it has up to five replacement teeth for each tooth position at any time.1

Fossils show that Komodo dragons once lived in Australia, where they existed alongside megalania, the largest land lizard ever.1

The 1926 expedition by W. Douglas Burden inspired the 1933 film King Kong.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: Komodo dragons are deaf.

Inyaniso: They were once thought to be deaf, but a London Zoo keeper trained one to come to her voice even when she was out of sight. They hear low-pitched sounds, roughly between 400 and 2,000 hertz.1
