Why are the komodo dragons dying?

Komodo dragons, though large and fearsome, face many dangers. One of the main reasons for their declining population is the fact that they live in areas constantly beset by natural disasters such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis. Natural disasters diminish numbers of the dragons' prey, leaving them with less food. Illegal poaching of Komodo dragons and their eggs has also resulted in fewer dragons remaining alive, while human encroachment leading to habitat destruction has resulted in less shelter for komodo dragons.

Are crocodiles a type of lizard?

Yes. They were all reptiles.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Specifically, both the crocodilians and the dinosaurs are archosaurs ("ruling reptiles"), members of the clade Archosauria, which also includes the pterosaurs and many other related animals which are now extinct.

What is viviparous lizards unique behavior?

no

2nd answer:

Well . . . some are viviparous. (Give birth to live young).

The viviparous lizard lives in the northern (cooler) parts of Asia, Europe, Japan, and so forth, as for north as the Artic Circle. That is why they give birth to live young -- regular lizard eggs would freeze and die.

Are Tegu Lizards legal in Georgia?

To the best of my knowledge tegu are not illegal in ma. I personaly own a 4 ft. blue tegu and have researched it extensively. I haven't found anything outlawing them. You do however need a class 4 propagators permit for several other reptiles such as: all monitors, retics, anaconda, and a few other snakes. If approved for a permit by Masswildlife, its a 25 dollar fee per year. I suggest you go to MassWildlife web site and search for: 321 CMR 9:00 Exemption List. Tegu make great "pets", but as with any big reptile you better know what you're doing.

Do dragons burp?

How do you take care of a baby alligator lizard?

Keep in mind, monitor lizards are not for beginners and require alot of time and money to be sacraficed for them. I will not provide you a caresheet on monitors because you need to research that information on your own through reptile forums and reptile care sites. I will give you tips and guidelines though. If you are planning to get your first monitor start out with a dwarf species such as ackies, kimberly rock monitors, freckled monitors, or storr's monitors. These dwarf monitors are curious, active, and often tolerate handling. They are great first time monitors. However, they might be a little hard to find...visit a reptile expo or search reptile classifieds. You will eventually come across one of the monitors i mentioned earlier for sale. Timor and Similis monitors are also dwarf species but are very shy and skittish. They also require fairly large enclosures because they are arboreal. Don't buy them unless you want a monitor that you don't mind seeing too often and you are okay with not being able to handle them. If your dwarf monitor is thriving under your care and you're up for a new challenge look into Savannah, brown throat, peach throat, mangrove monitors. These monitors can grow over a meter long and require large enclosures. They will also end up costing a lot more than any dwarf monitor. These monitors will generally tolerate handling but you must still use precaution whenever you handle them. These monitors are equipped with razor sharp teeth, dangerous claws, and long whip-like tails. Once you have sucessfully taken care of these monitors for a long time you may want to move on to an even bigger challenge. Water monitors, nile monitors, croc monitors, black/white throat monitors can grow over 2 meters long. They will require a giganticc enclosure and you will need to devote a large amount of your money and time to them.

Yes, however you will need the following tools:

How many chromosomes will be in the unfertilized egg of a great green galoofus lizard?

Body cells are diploid, which means they have two sets of chromosomes. Sex cells, both egg and sperm cells, are haploid, which means they have one set of chromosomes. So if the body cells have 56 chromosomes, the unfertilized egg would have 28 chromosomes.

Why not feed an iguana cherries?

Yes, Cherries are a good option for your Iguana's fruit source. Just remember...Iguanas should only have fruit as 10-15% of their daily diet...leafy greens (not lettuce) equal 50-55%...and vegetables 30-35%. Iguana's like to have a variety in their diet so try to mix things up often so your pet does not tire of his meals.
