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

Amaqiniso

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
