Australia is a country that likes to seduce everyone with lovely koalas, but in fact, apart from koala alpacas, there are at least tens of thousands of animals that can hurt or kill, except for animals that are harmless enough to act cute. Venomous snakes, spiders, monks and jellyfish. I can't even remember it in my hair,
It doesn't look cute. It almost eats people. It's called the Australian Water Dragon.
In fact, many friends can still see this lizard in China, because it is raised as a pet in China, but the general shopkeeper will tell you: do not use manual! Better feed it with a machine! Be safe if you run away! Just because these masseter muscles are very developed! If you get a bite, you'll have to lose two or two pieces of meat!
Australian dragons are more common in Australia. It's easy to see it for a walk in the park or in the wild. Sometimes it's in the sun. Sometimes it's resting on the side of the road. Sometimes it looks like a little kid, watching you leave again.
A lot of people because this product is short stature, put aside to it, quietly walk to its side ~ and expect to be able to communicate with it friendly … With that gentle and lovely face, there's no threat!
however! Recently, many wildlife researchers have found that the nature of Australian water dragons is changing. Not only have they become less afraid of human beings, but they have begun to occupy territory in the cities! And all of them are tantrums!
It turns out that we are on Facebook, all kinds of photos of the central idea is: the Australian water dragon is so tolerable ~ good gentle ~ people love oh ~
Now, I *, I've been bitten off by this guy!
And this brother, with his own tragic experience to tell you: the Australian water dragon is not you want to touch, if you want to touch can touch …
Australian dragons are now in the city where we live! We walk in the park every day! Even our backyard!
So stop thinking they're cute little lizards in the zoo! They're actually very ferocious!
They come to the city where humans live, not to be friendly with human beings, but to occupy this cool and well-fed treasure land! So, to them, humans are competitors!
Although the Australian water dragon toxicity is not strong, but the bite force is amazing, enough to bite off one of your toes!
But don't be too afraid, because Australian dragons don't attack humans easily. But it is a very territorial animal, if you accidentally enter its territory, it will give you three warnings, if you repeatedly ignore its warning, then it is really impolite! It's really not cute to be bitten by this guy.
But how is the Australian dragons premeditated to attack? The editor of the Weekly newspaper summarizes this playbook for you:
1. First warning: head up
Many people saw lizards holding their heads up on rocks, suning leisurely in the sun. They are actually guarding their territory.
The lizards, especially those who hear human footsteps climb out, are watching if any enemy is coming to their own territory.
So it's going to go up and say, "this is my place, just get away from me."
At this point, you can take a picture from afar, or say hello to him, but don't touch his head.
2. Second warning: tail flick
If a dog's tail flick is a sign of pleasure, the lizard's tail flick is a naked anger.
When it looks up at you and you don't leave its territory, it's really angry!
At this point, it will gently shake its tail and tap the ground, which is equivalent to saying, "Don't you want to have a toast without eating a fine drink?" Let me warn you again! Get out of here! Or you're welcome! "
At this time the lizard, has a last bit of patience, it will not attack, continue to monitor your every move.
If you see a lizard flick its tail, be careful, it's definitely not a sign of friendship, it's because the next step may be to get ready for the attack!
3. Ultimate warning: wave
This is one of the most misunderstood movements!
Lizard is not easy to lift its front claws, if you are lucky to see a lizard wave to you, then congratulations: run!
A lizard waving a forepaw means, "I can't stand it!" If I don't go, I'll be serious! "
If you've seen the lizard beckoning at you and don't mean anything to stay away from it, or even want to get close to it, then you're going to end up like this wooden lizard.
So remember, "the lizard wave is the most dangerous signal!" And then the attack! "
So, what photos do you take when you see such water dragons? Run!
