Lizards belong to the cold-blooded reptiles, which are distributed all over the world, and their species are widespread, about 3,000 species are distributed on the earth, and there are more than 150 species known in China. Mostly distributed in the tropics and subtropics, it has a diverse environment, mainly terrestrial, but also arboreal, semi-aquatic and earthy burrowing.
So do you know which lizard in the world is the most poisonous? The most poisonous lizard in the world is the poison lizard, which lives between the western United States and Mexico and is no more than 1 meter long. They are the only venomous lizards in existence, and unlike venomous snakes, the venomous lizards have venomous fangs that are not on the upper jaw but in the lower jaw.
The most poisonous lizard in the world
The poison lizard is crisscrossed with black and white stripes, looking like it is highly poisonous, the head is black, so it contains high poison, and the black head makes people more respectful. The poisonous lizards are not large, their bodies are thick and round, their limbs are short, their body length generally does not exceed one meter, they look very clumsy, in fact, their crawling speed is not fast, and they can catch food all by endurance. They eat a mixture of small insects to the carcasses of other lizards and even large animals.
Mainly found in deciduous forests, low bushes, and even desert oases in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, the lizard often soaks itself in water due to the arid climate. In the hot desert, they usually stay in the shade during the day and only come out to hunt at night when it is cooler.
The predatory process of poisonous lizards is very special, because they are not only good at using poison to "heart" but also greatly bad, often "slaughtering the prey". They will inject venom into the prey as soon as they come into contact with it, and then let the "dart" prey escape back to the nest, and they will chase it with their tails. Whenever the rainy season comes, they will become very active, except for the necessary predation time, they like to soak themselves in large and small puddles, living like the "pond putty" in Guo Degang's mouth. But during the dry season, this habit will be reversed, and during the day they are almost always "cool" in the cave, and only come out at night to find food.
Although the poison lizard moves slowly, it has very good endurance and often fights protracted battles with prey when hunting. The poison lizard's tongue is very sensitive, so it can easily spot prey. At this time, the poisoned prey basically has little ability to resist, and it is natural to be eaten. Then the goods are not satisfied, and will continue to carefully search for all possible food around. And their harvest is not bad at all times, and there is a high chance that the prey cubs and nearby neighbors will be "eaten together". Not only that, the poison lizard also loves to eat bird eggs, as long as there are bird eggs nearby, no matter whether the nest is installed on a tall tree or on the top of a cactus tree, it cannot escape its poisonous hands.
