Does a dropped lizard tail make another lizard?
No, when a lizard loses its tail, the tail cannot grow into another lizard, even though the lizard can grow another tail. Lizards do not have the same regenerative ability as starfish.
How do you tell boys and girls from lizard?
Lizards have scales, and boys and girls usually have hair on their heads, and smooth skin.
Komodo dragons do not ever encounter lions, because they live on only a few islands in Indonesia, whereas lions only live in Africa and a tiny part of western India. If they did encounter each other, a Komodo dragon may be able to bite a lion and kill it with infection, but the lion would kill the Komodo dragon very quickly after being bitten; thus, Komodo dragons can't and don't eat lions.
A lizard 'stool' - is simply the waste products of the digestive system after it's been excreted from the body.
How many pounds of food can a Komodo dragon eat at one meal?
Komodo dragons are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat. They stalk live prey, and they are also scavengers, feeding on carrion, or the carcasses of dead animals. They feed on a range of large animals, including monkeys, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, goats, snakes, livestock such as sheep and cattle, and even young ones of their own kind. They have been known to stalk human beings.
Young, newly-hatched komodo dragons feed entirely on insects, but as they grow older, they begin to feed on larger prey such as lizards, birds and small mammals such as rodents. Juvenile komodo dragons also eat eggs.
What is the name for a flying dragon lizard?
Pterosaurs flying reptiles. This category includes:
Pteranodon
Pterodactylus
Dimorphodon
Rhamphorhynchus
Quetzalcoatlus
plesiasaurs are water dwelling Nessie's
Answer:
They are correctly called Pterosaurs, although they are more commonly refered to as Pteradactyls. There are also prehistoric gliding lizards, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.
AnswerWhile the general public is still under the impression that Pterosaurs were reptiles, there is overwhelming evidence that they were, if fact, warm blooded and thus not reptiles. Flying in a hugely energy intensive task and there are very few cold-blooded animals capable of flight even today- most moths and butterflies are warm blooded, heating their bodies with the waste energry of the flight process. It is doubtful whether there ever was or ever will be a truly flying reptile. Evidence that they were warm blooded includes but is not limited to the evidence showing that dinosaurs were cold blooded (predator/prey ratio of bird-of-prey style pterasaurs, bone spots, rate of evoloutionary dispersion, etc.) as well as the requirement that they be warm blooded to be capable of surviving in their ecological roles without displacement, and many other factors. For more information read The Dinosaur Heresies by Robert Bakker PhD.
Where does a desert lizard find shelter?

I accedently killed a garden lizard how do you bring it back to life?
it is very hard to bring it back to life. this might work if it hasn't been dead for long, you can put it in the hottest water possible and if it opens its eyes, take it out! then put it outside and if it doesn't breath or its getting dried up, put it in the water again. Do this continuously. Don't forget while your doing this you have to blow air into its mouth but DONT touch mouth to mouth. good luck!
Where is queen voluptia's pet lizard in dragon quest 9 ds?
Go to the left side of the castle during the day, walk into the shade and clap, ti should come out of hiding
Um...not really. It depends. Chameleons are for advanced owners that have dealt with a variety of reptiles. Chameleons are quite fragile and can not be handled, for example, taken out of its cage and walking around. Chameleons are for pretty much "display only". If you want a friendly, social reptile, go with a bearded dragon. They don't get too big and are very friendly.

What does age wc mean for a chameleon?
AGE: WC is a misnomer and is used for many animals, not just chameleons. WC means Wild Capture. Many sellers place WC in the age section because they do not know the animal's age and they are required to inform buyers of a wild captured animal. I will not support wild captured sales of most animals to anyone but a breeder because these animals need better than normal habitat's and special attention (and in chameleons this means no handling at all unless it is sick.) Chameleons per capita especially, because of their stress levels, die more readily than most animals species even more often than WC birds.
Having to ask that question with an interest in chameleons worries me and I hope you consider your purchase greatly before buying simply because chameleons are very difficult to raise without some fore knowledge (learning about them) and dedication to their proper care and handling. Especially when it comes to someone to care for them while you are on vacation...
