Ukuba siyaluma

Hlamba inxeba, gcina umntu ezolile kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

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 yellow-spotted monitor digs some of the deepest burrows known for any vertebrate, with an average depth of 2.6 m as of 2015.1

During the dry season, it has been recorded diving underwater to feed on freshwater mussels.1

Argus monitors can mature sexually in less than a year, which is much faster than most other large monitors, which usually take 2 or more years.1

Several individuals may share one interconnected system of burrows, called a warren. One study found at least 6 individuals using the same warren.1

It is the third largest lizard in Australia, after the perentie and the lace monitor.1

Its sense of smell is its sharpest sense, and it flicks its forked tongue to search for food, much as snakes do.1
