KOMODO DRAGON Islands Unknown Imagine being shipwrecked on a remote island and finding yourself face-to-face with the world's largest living lizard a meat-eating monster up to 12 feet (3.6 m) long, weighing 300 pounds (136 kg)! The first visitors to Komodo Island probably were terrified by these prehistoric-looking beasts. The Komodo dragon , or komodo monitor lizard, is thought to be the source of Chinese legends of great scaly man-eating monsters, the dragons that are still featured prominently in Chinese folklore and religion. Species Description and Range The komodo dragon occurs only on Komodo and its few smaller outlying islands north of Australia (see Spotlight on I sland Biogeography ). It probably never was more widely distributed, although maps of ancient mariners had notations of "here be dragons" dotted throughout the islands of what is now Malaysia and Indonesia. It was not until the early 1900s that scientists confirmed the existence of these incredible giant lizards. Natural History Komodo dragons are carnivores (meat eaters) and will devour any animal they are capable of dismembering and gulping down. Although they are for the most part scavengers, they do capture live prey, including deer, pigs, birds, even young dragons. The young can escape by climbing trees, because the much-heavier adults cannot climb. Komodo dragons are good swimmers and have been reported hunting in the surf for fish and birds.

INDIAN PYTHON India Unknown Throughout history, humans have regarded snakes with both fascination and horror. In many cultures, snakes have been symbols of evil, from the Biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden to the snake demons of Indian mythology. To the ancient Egyptians the emblem of judgment and death was a snake. Snakes are found in most habitats worldwide except in extreme northern and southern regions. Snakes come in multitudes of sizes and colors with as many varied lifestyles, from deadly King cobras whose bite can kill a human in 15 minutes, to the world's tiniest West Indies thread snakes, about the size of a pencil lead. Snakes are reptiles, the group of animals that also includes crocodiles, lizards, and turtles. The now-legless snakes evolved millions of years ago from prehistoric lizards that lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. Pythons are the most ancient type of snake; they have remnant spurs, tiny projections where their ancestors might once have had legs. Species Description and Natural History The Indian python is a highly arboreal snake, once fairly common throughout the jungles of India, Sri Lanka, and the East Indies. It can grow to a length of about 20 feet (6 m).

quick advanced Scroll down for the article The Blue Racer Snake Wild Things - Endangered Reptile Species We see them in books, on TV and our pet stores are full of 'em. But that doesn't mean that they can't be endangered. Snakes , lizards, turtles and crocodiles are reptiles around the world currently facing the possibility of extinction due to habitat loss, pollution and human greed. Take a look at these fierce, but fragile, endanger-ed reptiles Kidzworld wants to bring to your attention. Blue Racer Snake There are many varieties of the Racer Snake found throughout North America, but the Blue Racer population has been steadily declining. At one time, this long slender, grayish-blue snake was found all over southern Ontario, Canada, Iowa and Ohio. As of 1995, however, there was only one small area in Ontario where the Blue Racer Snake could be found and its numbers had dropped to only 250 snakes. Though the Blue Racer Snake is protected against activities like capture, harassment, trade, and killing, the Blue Racer Snake's numbers continue to decline. Green Turtle While all Green Turtles are threatened, it is the population off the coasts of Florida and Mexico that are closest to extinction. Because they live in the sea, it is hard to know exact population numbers. All we can do is count how many breeding females come to shore each year to lay their eggs. At last count, there were between 200 and 1,100 breeding Green Turtle females. The turtles have been commercially harvested for eggs and food. Other turtle parts are used for leather and jewelry.

It is a genus of short-tailed, short-legged lizards in the iguana family. They are called "horned" for the hornlike spines on the back of the head and sides of the body. They are also called "toad" for their rounded, toadlike shape. This lizards are found mostly in dry regions of the western United States and Mexico. What is a reptile? The word reptile means "crawling animal," but this is not the only feature that distinguishes these interesting animals. Reptiles are a diverse group with a wide array of extinct lineages represented today by lizards, snakes, turtles, and crocodiles. Reptiles have several adaptations for terrestrial living not generally found in amphibians including the shelled egg and a waterproof skin. They are cold-blooded, backboned animals that breathe air. All reptiles are covered with scales or modified scales which are dry and firm.

The Gila monster is found in the desert regions of Arizona, New Mexico and northwestern Mexico. The beaded lizard is found only in Mexico, south of the range of the Gila monster. The Gila monster got its name from the Gila Basin, in Arizona. The Gila monsters are heavy-bodied lizards with large heads and powerful jaws. It is a stout animal which usually weighs 3 - 5 pounds. Its length varies from 12 - 24 inches for an adult. It has a thick, short tail which contains fat storage that the animal can survive on, when there is no food or when the animal is in hibernation.

Gila Monster Submitted by Omar Al-Ansari American School of Kuwait Hawalli, Kuwait City, Kuwait Gila Monster Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Description: The Gila Monster is one of the only two types of poisonous lizards in the world. There are two types of Gila Monsters. The Heloderma suspectum suspectum (Reticulate) and these adults are mottle and blotched. The second is the Heloderma suspectum cinctum(Banded) and these adults have a broad double crossband. The Gila Monster appears sluggish in the wild but it can quickly turn around and bite; when the Gila Monster bites its prey or its enemy, it holds on to it viciously. The Gila Monster's venom is as deadly as the venom of Western Diamond Back Rattlesnake. It is the only poisonous lizard in North America and is the biggest. The Gila Monster comes out at night and spends 98% of its time in a burrow that was built or stolen from another animal. In winter, the Gila Monster hibernates in its burrow and uses the stored fat in its tail that can keep it alive for months. The Gila Monster lays 1-12 eggs at one time. The eggs have a tough cover. This creature can live up to 20 years.

Ora (Komodo Island Monitor or Komodo Dragon) Varanus komodoensis Threats Hunting, poisoning, reduction of prey species , human encroachment STATUS: ESA ENDANGERED IUCN VULNERABLE SIZE: Length: Up to 10 feet (3 m) Weight: Up to 300 pounds (135 kg) HABITAT: Dry savanna , woodland thickets, forest fringes CURRENT RANGE: Komodo Island, western Flores Island, and nearby islands in Indonesia CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions; although not in immediate danger of extinction , the small range of oras indicates that some management is required Oras caught in the wild don't survive well in captivity. They don't reproduce readily, and often die from infections and parasitic diseases. But some hatchlings born in zoos (including one born in 1992 at the National Zoo in Washington, DC) have done well. Young oras live in trees, feeding on insects, until they're about a year old and three feet long. Then they move permanently to the ground. This strategy helps preserve the species; small oras on the ground are sometimes preyed on by adults. The ora's yellow tongue and repulsive mouth odor may have been the inspiration for legends of fire-breathing dragons.

Gila Monster Heloderma suspectum During the winter, when the animals hibernate, they live off the fat stored in their tails. Threats habitat loss resulting from urban development and road building STATUS: IUCN VULNERABLE SIZE: Length: 15-23 inches (38-58 cm), largest lizard native to U.S. POPULATION Unknown, but presumably small CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions Reluctant Monster There is nothing very monstrous about the gila monster unless you're a young mouse or a baby bird. Gila monsters are the largest lizards native to North America, but they're less than two feet long. They live in the deserts of Mexico and the southwestern U.S., preying on the young of small mammals, nestling birds, and bird and tortoise eggs that they find in mesquite scrub. They are stout-bodied lizards with short legs and a short, fat tail. They're covered with bright irregular markings, usually pink, yellow or white, against black or brown scales. They are shy, retiring creatures unless they're provoked. Then they can be dangerous because they secrete a neurotoxin a poison that destroys nerve tissue from their salivary glands. In humans, their bite can result in severe pain and even death. Using their strong, thick claws, gila monsters can climb into low bushes in search of food, but they don't do it very often; they prefer to stay on the ground. In fact, they spend most of their time underground, often in the burrows of small mammals. In some areas, they are nocturnal; in others they are active during the day. During the winter, they hibernate.
