A SchoolWorld Internet Education Project Endangered/Threatened Species Report Submitted by Amrish Maharaj East Hills Boys Technology High School Sydney, Australia Stephen's Banded Snake Stephen's Banded Snake Original artwork by Amrish Maharaj Description: The Stephen's banded snake is black with irregular dark bands with thinner, lighter ones. The bands may be occasionally missing altogether. Like most snakes, the Stephen's banded snake has a diamond shaped head, with a long slender body. The Stephen's banded snake has a total length of about 45cm. The Stephen's banded snake is a predator to lizards and small birds, but is prey to large birds such as falcons. The snake uses its bands as a means of camouflage and uses its small size to slide into small holes while in danger. Environment: The Stephen's banded snake mostly lives in trees, they also use places such as hollow logs as shelter. The snake feeds on lizards and small birds. The Stephen's banded snake comes out from its hiding place for water then usually goes quickly back to its original place. The Stephen's banded snake does not need much space, a small tree or a hollow log is all that is needed.

Gila Monster Submitted by Omar Al-Ansari American School of Kuwait Hawalli, Kuwait City, Kuwait Gila Monster Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Description: The Gila Monster is one of the only two types of poisonous lizards in the world. There are two types of Gila Monsters. The Heloderma suspectum suspectum (Reticulate) and these adults are mottle and blotched. The second is the Heloderma suspectum cinctum(Banded) and these adults have a broad double crossband. The Gila Monster appears sluggish in the wild but it can quickly turn around and bite; when the Gila Monster bites its prey or its enemy, it holds on to it viciously. The Gila Monster's venom is as deadly as the venom of Western Diamond Back Rattlesnake. It is the only poisonous lizard in North America and is the biggest. The Gila Monster comes out at night and spends 98% of its time in a burrow that was built or stolen from another animal. In winter, the Gila Monster hibernates in its burrow and uses the stored fat in its tail that can keep it alive for months. The Gila Monster lays 1-12 eggs at one time. The eggs have a tough cover. This creature can live up to 20 years.

However, it remains a species of management concern.) Historical Status: The eastern short-horned lizard appears to have a historic distribution range similar to its present distribution range. Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation has lowered the numbers of the species. Present Status: The eastern short-horned lizard is found in the western counties of the Dakotas to northeastern Montana and adjacent Canada, south to eastern Colorado and extreme northeastern Utah. In Wyoming and Colorado the eastern short-horned lizard is no longer present in several large areas. The species is locally common in the semi-arid short grass plains of the extreme western portion of Nebraska. In North Dakota the eastern short-horned lizards have been found along the Little Missouri River and Knife River drainages in the counties of Williams, Divide, McKenzie, Golden Valley, Billings, Slope, Dunn, and Bowman. Habitat: The eastern short-horned lizard frequents shortgrass prairie, sagebrush, open rocky or sandy plains, and open pinon-juniper, pine-spruce, and spruce-fir forests. Typically, the species inhabits hot dry or semiarid regions, such as the shortgrass plains in rather rough terrain. The soils may be stony, sandy, or firm, but usually some fine loose soil is present. The species is often found under or around sagebrush plants.

However, it remains a species of management concern.) Historical Status: The northern sagebrush lizard appears to have a historic range similar to its present range, although slightly smaller. Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation have lowered the numbers of the northern sagebrush lizards within their range. Present Status: The northern sagebrush lizard is present from southwestern North Dakota to southeastern Oregon and southward to northwestern New Mexico. In North Dakota there have been reports of northern sagebrush lizards in the counties of McKenzie and Slope. Habitat: The northern sagebrush lizard inhabits areas of desert floors, mountain slopes, forested slopes, and open flat lands. Sagebrush areas are favorite haunts, although they seldom climb into the bushes. The species occurs mainly on fine gravel soils, sandy soils, and rocky soils which are adjacent to water. Essentially terrestrial, seldom climbs, and usually remains close to rocks, crevices, and holes which it uses as shelter. Life History: The nortbern sagebrush lizard is active from late April to mid-September. The species is easily disturbed and immediately seeks refuge in crevices, in rodent burrows, and under surface plants when alarmed. The reproductive season lasts from May to mid-July. The females lay a single clutch of 2 to 7 eggs about 1 inch deep in loose soil usually at the base of a shrub. Hatchlings appear in mid-August. Diet consists mainly of ants, spiders, mites, ticks, and other insect types. Snakes are the main predator of the northern sagebrush lizard.

Armadillo Lizard Genus: Cordylus Species: cataphractus The nostrils of the Armadillo Lizard are formed into little tubes. The tubes help the Armadillo Lizards smell for food or predators. A ground dwelling lizard, it is active in the daytime and feeds on a wide variety of insects, as well as on spiders and other invertebrates. The head of the Armadillo Lizard is narrow in shape. It is fairly slow moving animal, but when the Armadillo Lizard thinks or knows it's in danger, it runs as fast as it can go for cover. The Armadillo Lizard has its babies in the late summer. Only 1 or 2 babies are born during that time. The Armadillo Lizards stay in family groups, and they will all live in the same rock crevice. When the lizards give birth, the babies are live-born, but do have a thin membranous shell that they need to break through. The Armadillo Lizard is a prey animal. It is preyed upon by bigger and stronger predators, such as humans, etc. The Armadillo Lizard's armor is most usefull against many birds, mammals, and other reptiles.

Species Night Snake ( Hypsiglena torquata RED LIST Short-horned Lizard ( Phrynosoma douglassii RED LIST Note: This species is extirpated in Canada. Basic Characteristics of a Reptile Reptiles are a diverse group with a wide array of extinct lineages represented today by lizards, snakes, turtles, and crocodiles. Reptiles have several adaptations for terrestrial living not generally found in amphibians including the shelled egg and a waterproof skin. Scales Scales containing the protein keratin waterproof the skin of a reptile, helping to prevent dehydration in dry air. Keratinized skin (skin that has been transformed into a tough fibrous outermost layer) is the vertebrate equivalent of the chitinized cuticle of insects and the waxy cuticle of land plants. Because it cannot breathe through its dry skin, a reptile must obtain all of its oxygen with its lungs. Reproduction Although viviparous reptiles exist (reptiles that give birth to live young), most species lay eggs on land; parchmentlike shells prevent them from drying out. The embryo develops in the fluid of an amniotic sac within the egg. The evolution of the amniote egg, a shelled egg with a self-contained "pond" of amniotic fluid, enabled vertebrates to complete their life cycles on land and sever their last ties with their aquatic origins. Fertilization in reptiles must occur internally, before the shell is secreted as the egg passes through the reproductive tract of the female. Cold-blooded Animals Reptiles are sometimes labeled "cold-blooded" animals because they do not use their

Frilled Lizard Frilled lizards live in forests and woodlands in Australia's hot north. They are covered with scales. They eat insects and spiders They have a neck frill they open when they need to look fierce. Frilled lizards are also called frill-neck lizards or frilled dragons . They live in dry forests and woodland, in the northern parts of Australia. They belong to the family of lizards called 'dragons'. A frilled lizard can be up to 95 centimetres long. Its colour matches the colour of the land and the trees it lives on. The lizard's colour camouflages it. Male frilled lizards are more brightly coloured than females. To escape an enemy, a frilled lizard can move very fast on its two hind legs. When it is frightened, the frilled lizard opens its mouth wide which causes it to ruffle out its red and orange, scaly frill. The frill like an open umbrella. The lizard hisses loudly too and may thrash its tail on the ground. Frilled lizards will bite an enemy with its strong teeth. Frilled lizards are not poisonous or harmful to people. Frilled lizards are usually active during the day, hunting insects, ants and spiders.

AZA Species Survival Plan Profile West Indian Rock Iguanas By: Rick Hudson The West Indian rock iguanas, Cyclura spp. , are a group of large, ground dwelling, herbivorous lizards that inhabit Caribbean islands throughout the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas. There are eight species with a total of 16 recognized taxa, including subspecies. Rock iguanas inhabit fragile ecosystems and most have suffered greatly over the years because of man's activities and introduced animals. All 16 taxa are currently protected under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES); three are listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the rest are listed as threatened. A more accurate assessment of the state of the iguanas is their classification under the new International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories; IUCN has recently classified all but four taxa as either critical or endangered. Today, West Indian rock iguanas are recognized as the world's most endangered group of lizards, with several species verging on extinction. Zoos have long been concerned with the plight of these impressive dinosaur-like lizards. However, only recently has a coordinated effort been made to protect rock iguanas.

Tiny radio transmitters will be attached to individual sand lizards in Dorset, in order to find out how much and how far they move each day. The four-year study will also examine how the creatures colonise fresh areas of heathland. Funding has come from the SITA environment trust, to examine human impact on animal habitats. We know that sand lizards have suffered severe historical declines, but it's difficult to know how well they're doing now Dr Gleed-Owen Herpetological Conservation Trust The research will be carried out by Southampton University PhD student Helen Fearnley. "I'm delighted that after several years of perseverance and many, many hours of field work, funding has finally been secured for this project," she said. "This research is desperately needed to ensure sand lizard populations in the UK are conserved and enhanced."
