@Klaus1386 I watch The Swamp Wars in So. Florida and they have Tegu's running wild and they are really aggressive. Biting pets biting off fingers. I have 5 children so I would have a big problem with these wild Tegu's.
jacktheripperrules Monitors are one thing but the South American tegu is another thing. They should never be kept in captivity. What do you think about the Komodo Dragon? What a crazy beast but I can't seem to see enough of it.
I would suggest reading some material about the monitor. And ask the person your buying it from. And being prepared before you buy it. That's all stuff I did before buying mine.
Overall it depends on the monitor itself. Mine was wild caught, and I'm sure that had something to do with it preferring meat over vegetables. I would feed mine pinkys when it was younger, and as it grew older I obviously increased the size of the mouse. Mine wouldn't eat dead mice too often, however I've seen monitors who have no problem with that. You can feed them vegetables, although I didnt give mine many. And you have to control their diet as they are prone to obesity.
Large mammal predators often don't know what to do with something that doesn't run and isn't their regular prey. The monitor just marches up and challenges them, so the lions assume that it has the strength to back it up. If they do know what it is, they may associate it on some instinctual level with infected bites. Even a minor injury can stop you from running down an antelope.
@wiganmadlad Yes they can kill a lion. Most monitor lizards have so much bacteria festering in their mouths that any bite from them could cause an infection that could lead to death. It is best to just stay away.
@wiganmadlad Possibly ,but I would say 50/50 on that theory. Monitors are effective predator themselves with fast reflexes. Their is a good reason these reptiles are to be respected.
@wiganmadlad Well, humans don't count :P we are feebly weak compared to say a Polar Bear...but if we declared war they'd be gone in a matter of days - but please don't misunderstand this. I just mean that we are sentients and have technology to compensate for our weaknesses; our brain is our fiercest weapon. Actually, if a Monitor Lizard went mad against a Lion, it could seriously hurt them. People don't realise they are the Kings of Lizards - they even robbed Dinosaur nests back in the day haha
To be fair, the monitor lizard, like it's cousin the komodo dragon, has a bite that's riddled with deadly bacteria- a bite from it could well kill a lion within days, so I can understand why they'd avoid a fight.
@AQWaddict Hell yeah they will. They'll even let themselves get stung to death trying to take some honey from bees. In fact I'm gonna look up honey bager vs Monitor Lizard cause that'd be an interesting fight.
That tail is particularly effective deterring a predator like lions. If the potential food stands its ground, the lion would normall try to circle around instead of make a frontal attack, but as soon as they realize the lizard can defend from both directions, the lions have no safe attack strategy.
@PijnigeR alright -.- "king of the jungle" is a term that is given to a lion, i didn't make it up, it's just what it is, so go correct the person who made that up in the first place and it's just a term which describes how lions are tough and on top of the food chain in the wild :P
@Jonny123898 He is iconic- THE voice of the nature documentary, and my guide to the natural kingdom from the time I was born. When he goes, a part of me will go with him...but at least he has left us all his decades of work to enjoy for all time :)
"when faced with the unknown, even adult lions are natural cowards." is that what David Attenborough said? I never knew that. I thought lions are the bravest badasses of the animal kingdom.
@IPodComputerTips I have a Nile. The comment was from when I first got her. Everything is peachy now. She's full grown and more aggressive but... gotta love her..!
@lycansre One of them WAS a male, they're not born with a mane you know, you can see the beginnings of a mane on one of the two that went up to the lizard
