テグスに登る?

テグクライミングの行動は年齢とともに劇的に変化します. すべてのテグーは一般的に樹上で生まれます (すなわち. 彼らは捕食者から逃れるために木に登って生活します) しかし、サイズが大きくなるにつれて地面に移動します.

大人のテグーは陸生です, 樹上性ではない, 陸上で時間を過ごすことを好み、一般的に登ることを好まない穴掘り動物. そうは言っても, 彼らはできる, 彼らが望むなら.

テグー種の登攀行動

There are three main species of tegus commonly kept as pets: メリアンの救世主, 救世主の赤面, and Tupinambis teguixin.

These species all exhibit the same climbing behavior patterns. Juvenile tegus are very agile climbers and spend a lot of time in trees, they use their sharp claws and powerful tails to grip branches and move quickly through the trees.

As they get older, tegus become less arboreal and spend more time on the ground. They still have the ability to climb, but they do not do it as often.

Other less common species of tegus, such as the Dracaena guianensis, or Caiman Lizard, are actually arboreal and do climb extensively even as adults.

These lizards have long, slender bodies and powerful tails that help them to grip branches. They are also very good at jumping from branch to branch.
