Extractions: Monitor lizards are hot cakes in Kancheepuram market By K. Subramanian Kancheepuram Dec. 15 . Monitor lizards (`udumbu' in Tamil), one of the protected animals under the Wildlife Act, are being sold like hot cakes for its meat in the town on Sundays. Narikoravas and Irulas, experts in catching the lizards by spreading small nets in the late night hours on lake bunds and trees when the reptiles search for its prey, sell them at various points including Gandhi Road opposite the vegetable market and at Sevilimedu. Besides, the Narikoravas bring birds like `kaadai', `gowthaari' and `egrets', protected under the Wildlife Act, in large numbers for sale in the market. Nearly 30 monitor lizards were sold on a Sunday before Deepavali and each lizard fetched a Rs. 200-300. Similarly, two Narikoravas sold a few monitor lizards today and got a good price. Each lizard weighs about 1-1.5 kg and a maximum of 300 gm of meat could be extracted from the reptiles.

Extractions: Based on a presentation by Luke Campbell at their February meeting. General info: Very active, high metabolism, very intelligent. Breeding: In the last ten years great leaps have been made in the captive reproduction of monitors. Buzzwords: Keep them hot and feed them a lot. Why are monitors different from other lizards? They are very active. Most reptiles cannot run and breathe at the same time, because they share the same muscles for running and breathing. Monitors have developed a highly muscular area of the throat allowing them to breathe while running. Their lungs are subdivided, greatly increasing the surface area, allowing a greater intake of oxygen from the air they breathe. Cardiovascular: Most lizards have a three chambered heart. Monitors have a modified three chambered heart that makes them very similar to mammal's and bird's four chamber hearts. This gives them the advantage of getting oxygen rich blood to their body more efficiently. Thermoregulation: Building a proper burrow: Burrows are for security. Monitors like a nice tight space, where they can feel the space on both top and bottom. Thermoregulation of burrow. This is where they can escape from extremes in temperature. This is where they can hide from hot days, or warm up through cool periods. Burrows are also typically humid. When a monitor sleeps in a water dish it is a sign that their burrow may be too dry.

Apparently "Ouran" sounds a bit like a German word, (for "Sentry" I think) that was later mis-translated into English as "Monitor".

Extractions: I'd say that to start out, you might want to stay away from the "giant" monitors: Nile V. niloticus niloticus and V. n. ornatus ), reaching 7-10', very wary and aggressive, requiring lots of time and respectmost Nile owners end up trying to get rid of them by the time they reach 5 feet); the Salvador or Crocodile monitor ( V. salvadorii , second in size only to the Komodo dragon [9+'], largely arboreal, eats birds and eggs [not store-bought infertile eggs which cause biotin deficiencies) and the Water or Asian Water Monitor ( V. salvator , similar in appearance to the Nile, 7 feet, highly aquatic. Beware of stores mismarking the Salvador and the Water monitors! Due to the similarity in Latin name, the Water monitors are often called Salvadors, and vice versa. Aside from the fact that these monitors need an extraordinary amount of room (to move around in, to swim in and for you to be able to get in and clean up) and that they grow quickly (many owners are surprised at just how fast the Nile reaches 5 feet), they have crushingly powerful jaws and bites can result in your getting to know the emergency room staff and a plastic surgeon quite well. Many people have been turning to the above monitors to get something "different" from all the people buying Savanna monitors, just like the popularity of Savannas can be tied to all the people who wanted to be different and not get an iguana.

Extractions: LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Call it Lord-of-the-Flies TV. The CBS television network announced on Thursday the launch of a new series in which 16 volunteers will be marooned together for 49 days on a deserted tropical island off Borneo. "Survivor" adds a competitive twist to the saga every three days one member of the group will be voted off the island by the rest, with the last person left collecting a prize of $1 million. " Sign me up! I bet they wont let you take along any weapons but no man goes without a knife and if I can get one (two if you count my molar razor ring) past the NSA boys at the pre-Panama "freedom fight" rally at the finest jacuzzi in all of Costa Rica I can get a machete and colon locker of jerky past tv executives and some mudhut retards. "But life for the show's contestants will be a lot more than an extended vacation in paradise. Equipped with little beyond "the basic supplies of a shipwreck", the group will be forced to fend for itself in building shelter, foraging for food, and defending against such dangers as wild pigs, pythons, and poisonous sea snakes.To create added drama a dash of social tension, the program also will feature mini-contests in which the group competes for such creature comforts as a pillow or a soft drink."
