The yellow-spotted monitor is a large, fast lizard that lives in northern and western Australia and southern New Guinea. It is one of Australia's biggest lizards, and it plays an important part in its ecosystem as a predator. It can give a painful bite if it feels threatened.1

It is mostly ground dwelling and digs large burrows or takes over existing ones, where it spends much of its time. It usually stays near a permanent source of water, and it also forages in trees and in the water.1

牠吃什麼？
It eats almost any animal it can overpower, including fish, crabs, small birds, rodents, insects and other monitors. It hunts by watching for movement, then chasing and overpowering its prey.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Most individuals are yellow, with a brown or dark tan background.1
  • Large, dark spots form rows along the back, and they are most distinct in the middle of the back.1
  • Bands of colour appear toward the tip of the tail.1
  • Adults are large: females average about 90 cm long and males about 120 to 150 cm.1
  • Colour varies between individuals and places. The subspecies rubidus is reddish rather than brown.1

常被誤認為： The sand goanna (Varanus gouldii) somewhat resembles the yellow-spotted monitor.1

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候，毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

牠害怕時會做什麼？

When threatened, it raises itself up on its hind legs and supports itself with its tail, which lets it watch for danger. It can also run up to 100 metres to a tree or burrow.1

如果牠咬人

  • 清洗傷口，讓傷者保持冷靜，並且就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果被牠咬了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

小知識

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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