Argentine black and white tegu
''Salvator merianae'', commonly known as the black and white tegu or Argentine black and white tegu,〔 is the largest species of tegu, family Teiidae. It is also known as the Argentine giant tegu.〔(www.wildherps.com )〕 Tegus fill ecological niches similar to those of monitor lizards, and are an example of convergent evolution.
They are an omnivorous terrestrial species that inhabit the tropical rain forests, savannas and semideserts of east and central South America. Just as many other reptiles, Argentine tegus will go into brumation (a form of hibernation) in autumn when the temperature drops. A level of intelligence unusually high for reptiles has been observed, along with a high level of physical activity during the wakeful period of the year. It has been observed and recorded that certain individuals will very regularly, and clearly seek out human affection, just as a dog or cat might. Some intelligent Tegus will form strong connections and attachments towards their keepers. Some have been reported to come on command, and can be house-trained, these are some of the smartest of the large lizards.
==Description==
As hatchlings they have an emerald green complexion from tip of their snout to midway down their neck with black markings; the emerald green eventually fades to black within a couple of months after shedding. Adult males are much larger than the females and can reach three feet (92 cm) in length at maturity and continue to grow to lengths of 4-4.5 feet (120 to 140 cm). The females are much smaller reaching up to three feet in total length, from nose to tail. They have beaded skin and linear stripes running down their bodies. Adults can reach a weight from 2.5 to 7 kg.〔http://www.uco.es/organiza/servicios/publica/az/php/img/web/17_12_32_15NotaRendimientoBasso.pdf pp2〕
