Ok how about we have
a look at reptiles, you know those cold-blooded animals that are covered with
scales or plates instead of skin or feathers.
Most of them lay
eggs but there are some that give birth to their young, most reptiles are
lizards with over 3,700 different species.
The largest lizard
is the komodo dragon, they can eat as much as 80% of their body weight in a
single meal.
They reach up to 3 m in length and around 150 kg in weight and are native only to a handful
of Indonesian islands, including Komodo, Rinca, and Flores.
However, the largest
reptile is the saltwater crocodile, they are up to 6.32m or 20.7ft. they weigh
around 1,000–1,500 kg 2,200–3,300lb.
They can be found in
Northern Australia, Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea.
I think I would not visit Northern Australia. I saw saltwater crocs in Costa Rica and they are HUGE!
ReplyDeleteYes they are but if you stay clear of them all should be ok
DeleteI didn't know that some reptiles don't lay eggs but actually give birth to their offspring. Do you know which species, Jo-Anne?
ReplyDeleteNot yet but I will be looking into that for another post
DeleteVery interesting info. Some people have an aversion to reptiles like lizards. But I am generally okay. Even snakes; but not all of them are poisonous.
ReplyDeleteI have a niece who freaks out when she sees a lizard
DeleteVery interesting information about them. I'm certainly not into them. I like turtles.
