Lace Monitor - Australiana

The Lace Monitor lizards in an Australiana icon.

There are several kinds of goanna in Australia. The largest is the Lace Monitor, Varannus varius. It lives in trees and in summer it is very active hunting for food. In winter it slows down and spends its days resting in hollows in trees.

They often hang around picnickers looking for food scraps. Some people fear goannas, but for the most part the reptile is harmless - they could hardly swallow a human whole. They would rather run than bite a large living animal: their main target is carrion.

When male Lace Monitors mate they go through the set patterns of who is the strongest to get the female. Having young is an easy matter. A female lays her eggs in a termites nests which stays at a steady 31°C.

Aboriginals used goanna oil to ease body pain and as a protective layer on wounds. Early European settlers used the oil on guns as it was a good substitute for standard lubricating oil. Goanna linament does not contain any Goanna oil because killing the animal is illegal. This stops the oil being put to test - folk lore says that if put in a glass jar it will seep through the bottom and be underneath in the morning. Rogue research shows this claim to be right. This is a very interesting property and could possible be put to a good use!

Anyway, we will have to live with the saying: "Flat out like a lizard drinking". Yes, their tongues move very fast when they drink water.

The Kimberley Throws Out Another New Species

Acanthophis cryptoamudros kimberley death adder

You would think that all the snakes in Australia are known. However a new species has been found. It is a death adder in the Acanthopis family. Official named Acanthophis cryptoamudros the Kimberley death adder is two thirds of a meter long. Like many snakes its head is diamond shaped.

Adders hide and blend in with the underbrush then ambush prey. Four legged reptiles and small mammals are the main food. Oddly, the new adder does not look like other adders. It is similar to snakes of other species.

Australia has been a happy hunting ground for scientists recently. Many new animals have been identified. The search goes on in this sparsely populated region of the dry continent. New species include: shark, dolphin, antechinus, seadragon, lizard, fish and spider, , A new water flower has also been discovered.
