Lace monitor
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

- The main form is dark grey to dull bluish-black with scattered cream-coloured spots.1
- The head is black, and the snout has prominent black and yellow bands that extend under the chin and neck.1
- The tail has narrow black and cream bands that get wider towards the tip.1
- Bell's form has a yellow-brown or yellow base colour with fine black mottling and broad black or dark brown bands from the shoulders to the tail.1
- Juveniles have more defined banding, with five narrow black bands on the neck and eight on the body.1
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
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
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.Its venom is not enough to cause serious harm. Scientists have cautioned that calling these lizards venomous overestimates the medical risk to bite victims.1
Senzani uma sesabile?
When disturbed, lace monitors retreat to a nearby tree.1
Uma siluma
- Geza inxeba, gcina umuntu ezolile bese uthola usizo lwezokwelapha.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile
Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?
Sisinda kangakanani?
side njengamakati asekhaya angu-4 kusuka ekhaleni kuya emsileni
side njengobhanana abangu-11 abalandelanayo
singahamba amamitha ali-100 ngemizuzwana engu-22 (umuntu oshesha kunabo bonke udinga engu-9,6)Lace monitor mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
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
Umqothuli wezinganekwane
Inganekwane: Bites from monitors were thought to be dangerous mainly because of infection from bacteria in their mouths.
Iqiniso: Researchers found in 2005 that the immediate effects of bites were more likely caused by venom.1
