1. Title: "A Captivating Common Tegu Lizard at Ekaterinburg Zoo, Russia" The Common Tegu Lizard (Tupinambis teguixin), also known as the Argentine Black and White Tegu, is a fascinating reptile native to South America. In this image from Ekaterinburg Zoo in Russia, we find a Common Tegu Lizard basking in its enclosure, showcasing its unique features that make it a popular attraction among zoo-goers. The Common Tegu Lizard is the largest species of lizard in Russia and is known for its striking appearance. With a length of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet), this reptile boasts a black and white banded body, with a distinctive pink or red dewlap under its neck. The Common Tegu Lizard is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, and small animals. The Common Tegu Lizard has a rich history, with evidence suggesting that they were domesticated by the Guarani people of South America for food and leather production. They have been kept as pets and in zoos for their unique appearance and interesting behaviors. In this image, the Common Tegu Lizard can be seen with its tongue out, which is another intriguing feature of this species. The tongue is long and forked, allowing the lizard to taste and detect prey from a distance. The Common Tegu Lizard's tongue is also used for communication, as they use it to make clicking or hissing sounds. This photograph is a reminder of the diverse and fascinating wildlife that can be found in zoos around the world. The Common Tegu Lizard, with its historical significance and captivating appearance, is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Ekaterinburg Zoo or any other zoo that houses this remarkable reptile.
