   Extractions: ...as was the other lizard, which was a Tegu lizard. I was told that the word "tegu" is Latin for tiger, which seems appropriate, but I've since read that "tegu" is actually a South American Indian name for this lizard, and indeed I haven't been able to track down any Latin word "tegu". There are several types of tegu lizard, I think this might be a Gold Tegu (which used to be called tupinambis nigropunctatus but is now called tupinambis teguixin). As you can see, it's got pretty good claws, especially on the hind feet.

   Extractions: M. Margarita Mieres, Lee A. Fitzgerald, and A.L. Aquino Tegu lizards of the genus Tupinambis are the most heavily exploited reptiles in the world by number, with about 1,300,000 being harvested every year in Argentina and Paraguay. An undetermined number of skins enter the trade from Bolivia and Brazil. This resource is important to local people and the leather industry, but the lizards have only been exploited according to market demand for their skins. Commercially exploited lizards have never been managed, and our program is serving as a model for wildlife management in the Neotropics and for lizard management in particular. Research is being carried out in three areas: 1) Harvest Monitoring: Tegu lizards are difficult and costly to study in the wild, so estimates of population trends of Tupinambis spp. depend on data taken from the annual harvest. Harvest monitoring is now required by law in Argentina and Paraguay. Teams of biologists from CITES-Paraguay take monthly field trips to gather data on sex ratios and body size distributions of Tupinambis skins entering the commercial trade. This sampling regime provides data on all three species of

   Extractions: Animal Description: The Gold Tegu, also known as the Common Tegu, is a large lizard found in South America. They are somewhat aggressive and are moderately difficult to keep in captivity. The Gold Tegu can be found in the forests and savannahs of South America. They are usually found in tropical rainforests near water. Most Tegus live near a water source and spend much of their time soaking in water. The Gold Tegu is an aggressive animal, however, they can become fairly used to human attention if handled regularly. Gold Tegus can also be trained to use a litter box. In the wild, the Gold Tegu feeds on insects, small mammals, fish, and soft fruit. They are terrestrial animals, meaning they spend their time on the ground instead of in trees. Gold Tegus enjoy burrowing. Because Tegus often live in the mountains, they can handle both very hot and very cold weather. The average lifespan of the Gold Tegu is between 10 and 15 years.

    Extractions: January 2003 Each bird carries an aluminum leg band and a combination of plastic, color leg bands. The researcher is hoping that birders will at least be able to report the color combination and, under optimum conditions, part or all of the nine-digit code on the aluminum band. In January 2003 my tour members and I were fortunate enough to see everything on both birds by utilizing a spotting scope at close range.

    Extractions: The green anaconda to be specific, the largest snake in the world. Other snakes may grow longer, but none matches the length and weight of the anaconda. The largest specimens can grow to close to 30 feet (9 meters) long and weigh 1,200 pounds (550 kilograms). "The anaconda is the master of the swamp," says Rivas. "Before 1992, no one knew anything about it, and you can't really know anything about an animal by building computer models in the lab. You have to put on the shoes of the snake and wear them. That way you learn the difference between the truth and what you think the truth is." Snake Charmer
