Feeding day at the reptile compound.
Sweet lovable lizard. ❤
Frozen-thawed squid is given to an Asian water monitor. Magic of editing to make the squid seem animated.
Video filmed on December 8, 2017.
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. Member of our crew is working on a PhD in reptile venom research.
As seen in video, the lizard smells using tip of his tongue which rubs against a jacobson's organ (located roof of mouth) and the forked tongue--split into two tines at the tip--is believed to allow them to sense from which direction "stereoscopically" 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।
कतरने वाले जानवर जैसे चूहे मॉनिटर छिपकली के प्राकृतिक आहार का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं।
Isang bayawak nasisiyahan sa pagkain. Ito ay isang malambing at mapagmahal na bayawak. Mahal na mahal namin siya. Ang mga daga ay importanteng bahagi ng minomotor na natural na diyeta ng isang bayawak.
Kadal suka makan. Ini adalah kadal yang manis dan lucu. Kami sangat menyayanginya. Hewan pengerat adalah bagian penting dari diet alami kadal.
ஒரு பல்லி ஒரு விருந்தை அனுபவிக்கிறது.
இது ஒரு இனிமையான அன்பான பல்லி. நாம் அதை மிகவும் நேசிக்கிறோம்.
கொறிக்கும் பிராணிகள் ஒரு மானிட்டர் பல்லியின் இயற்கை உணவில் முக்கியமான பகுதியாகும்.
ఒక బల్లి ఒక విందు ఆనందిస్తుంది. ఇది ఒక మంచి ప్రేమించదగిన బల్లి. మాకు అది అంటే ఎంతో ఇష్టం. ఎలుకలు మానిటర్ బల్లి యొక్క సహజ ఆహారంలో ముఖ్యమైన భాగం.
