Butaan Lizard
(Varanus olivaceus)
PREMIERING MAY 21
ON ANIMAL PLANET
Butaan Lizard
(Varanus olivaceus)
Habitat: The Butaan Lizard is very rare
and can only be found in the forests of the
Philippine Islands.
Size: It's the largest fruit-eating lizard on
the planet and can grow to be 7 feet long
and weigh 70 pounds.
Prey: Have you ever heard of a frugivore?
They eat a diet consisting almost entirely
of fruit!
Did You Know? This shy animal spends
most of its time high in trees, coming down
only to eat ripe fruit that has dropped to
the ground. Assumed extinct for 130 years, the Butaan lizard is one of the world's rarest reptiles. A giant, fruit-eating tree-dweller, the tremendously shy Butaan has never been filmed in the wild — until now.
In this Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdomspecial, biologist Daniel Bennett leads a group of scientists to remote Polillo Island in the Philippines to study and film this little-known species. Few scientists have seen the Butaan in the wild; its habit of hiding out in the high canopies of the forest has made research difficult, not to mention hazardous.
Growing up to 7 feet in length, the Butaan — a close relative of the carnivorous Komodo dragon — has a highly specialized, frugivorous diet. It feeds almost exclusively on the tough, reddish-orange fruit of the pandanas palm tree.
Over the past 20 years, more than 90 percent of the Butaan's habitat has been destroyed to make way for coconut and rice plantations. Today, only one square mile of habitat remains on Polillo Island for the Butaan, and with trees continuing to fall at an alarming rate, time may be running out for this unique species.
Butaan: The Lost Dragon is filled with adventure, danger and discovery. Using remote cameras, camera traps and specialized tree mounts, Daniel Bennett and his fellow scientists uncover the secrets of this "lost dragon."
