Crested Geckos

The Santo Stefano Lizard, Podsrcis Sicula Sanctistephani, went extinct in 1965. The Santo Stefano Lizard lives on Santo Stefano Island and is also a Mediterranean type. The lizard likes being near a lot of water. The species ranged out to Italy, South Of Alphs, Sicily, Saradinia, and many other islands. The lizard has been introduced to a number of sites in the United States, Libya, And Tunisia (broom02.revolvy.com). The Santo Stefano Lizard lives on Santo Stefano which is a very small island near Ventotene and its off the west coast of Italy. A feral cat and snakes killed off most of the population.

Texas Horned Lizards (P. cornutum) are currently listed as a threated species in Texas and Oklahoma. Texas Horned Lizard decline has been documented to start in the 1960’s, and is attributed to many things such as the invasion of red fire ants, habitat loss, urbanization, and the increased use of insecticides (Donaldson, Price, and Morse, 1994). These lizards inhabit arid to semi-arid environments and are known to primarily eat harvester ants. However, other invertebrates have been noted such as spiders, crickets, and beetles (Montanucci, 1989). The Horned Lizards dependence on Harvester ants has already been brought to question when it was shown that habitat influences population distribution and not harvester ant availability (Whiting,

For my report I will write about Pogona, otherwise referred to as the bearded dragon. These harmless reptiles are mostly found in Australia in ridged rocky regions. They enjoy climbing and can be found up on high rocks or on branches of trees. They are also typically found in dessert regions of Australia chilling on tree stumps and rocks. For pet dragon you will want a habitat that has a heat source on one side to keep it warm if needed and a small place to hide and climb on. They will also obviously need a shallow dish for food and water purposes.

This project really got me out in the community to read a book to young kids about the amazing Santa Rosa Plateau. I really enjoyed this because the kids learned something about the animals and the plateau. The book, Leo the Extraordinarily Ordinary Lizard, shows many different species who help a lizard have fun, but are explained at the back of the book, and the plateau is also explained. I read this book to expand the kids mind to show what they can see at the plateau. Finally if the kid’s take this book personally it could lead to sparking one’s mind to go on nature walks and ask rangers what they can do to help.

It would have been interesting to experience this and see the behavior of the surrounding gibbons in the enclosure to see if they would have seen it as aggressive or sexual.

The first step will be to dissect preserved specimens of both, barking and non-barking geckos, and to select representative samples of tissue from the laryngeal and the tracheal area. The non-barking geckos will serve as a control. This tissue must be processed by standard protocols, either by manual or automated techniques (processing in histology commonly refers to the removal of water or dehydration by placing the tissue in gradually increasing concentrations of alcohol, and then xylene, to finally infiltrating the tissue with paraffin or plastic). After processing the tissue will be embedded in paraffin block, and cut into micrometric sections and placed in positively charged glass slides.

The Tongo lizard is a multi-coloured , smooth , lamellate dragon like , endangered lizard. This speicies of lizard is found in the amazon rainforest and eats star fruit and nuts but is rarely seen due to major endangerness . This animal is endangered ; hunters kill the Tongo lizard because of its amazing skin which can be used to make likerish and the skin makes a lovely wall paper , according to Simon Cal !

The Texas horned lizard, Phrynosoma cornutum, is a species in the lizard family, Phrynosomatidae, which has ten genera and a diverse group of over 125 different species (Hammerson 2007; Cossel Jr. 1997). Lizards in this family can be found in Mexico, Panama, most areas of the United States and parts of Canada (Heying 2003). Phrynosomatids range in a variety of forms, but are most commonly distinguished by their small size (less than 10 cm long), rough and keeled scales, spikes on their bodies, and the fusion of the sides of their teeth to the sides of their inner jawbones, known as pleurodont teeth (Heying 2003). The thirteen species in the horned lizard genus, Phrynosoma, can be identified more specifically by their flattened bodies

According to a new study by researchers at the University of Queensland, “giant killer lizards” used to stomp around Australian land roughly 50,000 years ago. The discovery came as a surprise to the team of scientists, who now believe that Australia’s first human inhabitants might have lived at the same time as the giant predator.

A new animal species that may affect our ecosystem has been located in Etobicoke, ON. Annie Pope a young woman was the first to report that she noticed an animal hanging in the tree of her backyard. A mere hour later the local animal shelter was flooded with calls of an animals the size of a monkey with the features of a raccoon in the trees around the neighbourhood. The animal has been caught by animal services and will be given to The Ballard Animal Institute to be safely kept and for further research.

The article I have is from a science news website, Live Science. The article is about how animals such as geckos and insects such as spiders can climb walls so easily. The writer of the article, Laura Geggel, talks in a third person point of view to go over general research picked up by doctors, comparisons to the animals, and scientific studies of insect and animal sticky conduction. The writer also talks in a relatively informative language to state solutions in how these animals and insects are able to walk on walls. The writer also made numerous examples to help explain solutions to the creature’s ability of wall climbing. The first is the comparison of the gecko wall climbing ability to the ability of a tiny spider. The second example

As Chia LR Tan, a senior scientist at the San Diego Zoo stated “Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) are limited to temperate montane forests at 1400–3400 m above sea level (4,600-11,150 feet) in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Hubei provinces”. Golden Stub Nosed monkeys only live in the areas of China located in the yellow on the map on the right. These monkeys are only found in the temperate montane forest in the middle of china and nowhere else on earth. These mountains are full of trees and The temperate coniferous rain forests sustain the highest levels of biomass in any terrestrial ecosystem and are notable for trees of massive proportions, including coast redwood, Douglas fir and Sitka spruce

Sagebrush lizards usually nearly impossible to see with the naked eye. My reasons to tell this is because I want you to know where they com from, what they eat, their actions are, how you tell if they are male or female, and how you tell how old it is.

It is a beautiful day out for the man to attempt to climb the mountain. He has all the proper safety equipment; however, the mountain is flat, with not a lot of places A statement like" Western garter snake TETRODOTOXIN (TTX) – resistant channels in order to permit them to feed on Western newts" misrepresents the mechanism that enables organisms to involve adaptions the process of natural selection. This statement implies that garter snakes underwent a series of powerful deliberations: they thought about the fact that newts could be a possible source of food, figured out that the newts produce TTX, which was poisonous, and then decided, rationally, to develop TTX – resistance channels that would "permit them" to feed on the newts. This thinking
