- Do people eat these?
- No, people don't usually eat lizards.
- Do they eat people?
(cheerful music)
- So, my name is Anna.
- [All] Hi Anna!
- I've brought some lizards.
- Yeah!
- Okay, I'm going to go get our first friends.
- Do they bite?
- Open your eyes.
- [All] Oh!
- A Komodo dragon?
- It's a good guess, they are dragons.
These guys are bearded dragons.
This is Rocky and Peaches.
- I like Peaches.
- I like Rocky because he feels like a rock.
- Why aren't they moving?
- 'Cuz they love being petted.
- He moved!
- Look at her nails, cute nails.
- You guys wanna hold one?
- [All] Yeah!
- So, I'll help you hold one.
So, I'm gonna put him right up here.
- Okay, ah!
- That's a pretty nice lizard, huh?
- That guy is just looking at me like...
- He's a nice gentle lizard.
- How did you get them?
- So, these guys used to be someone's pets.
And they realized how much work a Bearded Dragon was,
and they decided they didn't want to have a
Bearded Dragon anymore.
So, They gave them to us.
- 'Cuz you wanted them?
- We wanted them 'cuz they're really nice.
- What do they eat?
- So, these guys are omnivores.
That means they eat a little bit of
meat and some vegetables.
- I eat a little bit of meat, a little bit of plants,
a little bit of bugs and little bit of grass.
- So, you're an omnivore.
- Ah, yeah, kind of like and everything-a-vore.
- Okay, you guys, you wanna say goodbye to these guys?
- [All] Goodbye!
- Goodbye Peaches, Goodbye Rocky!
- Okay, guys, close your eyes.
- [All] Whoa, ah!
- What is that horrible thing?
- She is what's called a Blue Tongue Skink,
and her name is Sheila.
- Sheila!
- So, she lives in Australia,
she tries to pretend to be a snake.
- What?
- So, if she feels scared, she'll tuck her little legs in,
she'll wiggle her tail,
she'll hiss like a snake and then
she does something really silly.
She goes blech -
- [All] (giggle)
- And she sticks out her tongue.
So, bright colors in nature are a warning to say,
"I might be dangerous" but,
do you think she really is dangerous?
- [All] No.
- No, so I have one other really cool thing.
If a predator grabs onto her tail she can make
her tail drop off.
- Does it take her a long time to grow back her tail?
- It takes a long time for it to grow back,
you see all those bones in their tail?
When they lose their tail they lose those bones forever.
They can grow cartilage back which is the same stuff
that makes up your nose and your ears.
- Oh my goodness, I love her.
- We're gonna say bye to Sheila.
- [All] Bye Sheila!
- Don't go away Sheila, I'm gonna miss you!
- Oh, what's this lizard?
- You guys are peekers.
Open.
- [All] Oh my God!
- Oh, scary!
- Whoa, how big is he?
- So her name is Kenya, and she is a Savannah Monitor.
- How little did she used to be?
- So, when they're babies they're about this big.
Do you see her big tongue?
- No.
- [All] Oh!
- It like has two parts to it.
- Yeah, so, it splits in two parts
that way she can smell things and she can follow them.
- Do people eat these?
- No, people don't usually eat lizards.
- Do they eat people?
- Her favorite food is mice.
- Mice! Like cats!
Do they need to brush their teeth?
- She doesn't brush her teeth but maybe it would be a good
idea if you could teach her how to brush her teeth.
- [All] Bye, Kenya!
- Can I carry her away?
- No, she is really heavy.
- I hope I can take you home some day.
- Me too!
- I hope you don't bite me if I take you home.
- [All] Thank you for watching, Petting Zoo Lizards!
- [All] Bye!
- Bye bye!
