❤️ Rat Meets Lizard -- Rat Falls in Love -- Lizard Eats Rat ❤️
Heartwarming story of predator and prey that goes against the laws of nature.
Based on a New York Times best-seller _Lizard Meats Rat_.
On February 14, 2016 an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus salvator) befriended a rodent. It was a sweet and surprising companionship. Sadly short lived as another lizard took the rodent.
Food is given in the community reptile paddock as an enrichment process to stimulate animals in captive environments. Common practice at zoos. Works well with animals in any confined environment. Video is an example of good reptile husbandry.
Video is part of a body of work that focuses on the science of reptile feeding behavior that supported a master's thesis in zoology. Also, a member of our team is working on her PhD in reptile venom research.
Monitor lizards are known to eat eggs, fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, snakes, and carrion such as this roadkill rabbit.
As seen in the beginning of video, lizard's forked tongue is split into two tines at the tip. The lizard smells (tastes?) using tip of his tongue that rubs against a Jacobson's organ, which is believed to allow them to sense "stereoscopically" from which direction a smell originates.
Following scent trails based on chemical cues is called tropotaxis. It's unclear whether forked-tongued reptiles can actually follow trails or if this is just a hypothesis. Study the video, what do you think?
Video is for the citation for junior high school, and high school science reports. Also recommended for college and graduate level source citation for zoological biostatistics.
Filmed with the University of Guadalajara for Biological and Agricultural Sciences, the division of Biological and Environmental Science Division, at the department of Botany and Zoology.
अपनी दावत का आनंद लेती छिपकली
यह एक बोहत ही प्यारी छिपकली है। हम उससे बहुत प्यार करते हैं।
