Blue-tailed monitor

provided by wikipedia EN

The blue-tailed monitor, blue-tailed tree monitor or Kalabeck's monitor[3] (Varanus doreanus),[4] is a monitor lizard of the Varanidae family. It belongs to the V. doreanus group of the subgenus Euprepiosaurus.[5]

Taxonomy

Two subspecies have been described:[6]

  • V. d. doreanus (Meyer, 1874)
  • V. d. finschi (Bohme, Horn & Zeigler, 1994)

The latter has since been elevated to full-species status as Varanus finschi.[4]

Once considered a member of the V. indicus species complex, it now forms its own species complex with V. finschi, V. semotus, and V. yuwonoi, having diverged from the V. indicus species complex 5.8 million years ago. The V. doreanus species complex formed at most 4.1 million years ago. V. doreanus is the most basal and widespread member of this species complex.[5]

Distribution

This species can be found throughout New Guinea, New Britain, the Bismarck Archipelago, Biak, Salawati, and Waigeo. The blue-tailed monitor is also found on mainland Australia on the tip of the Cape York Peninsula.[4] It inhabits rainforest areas, dry streambeds, and riparian zones.[5]

Description

The blue-tailed monitor can reach a total length (including the tail) up to 135 cm (53.15 in). The body is greyish-blue in colour and covered with round ocelli. The throat is whitish and strongly marbled. The tail shows clearly a double keel. The tail is light blue (hence the common name of this species), which is interrupted by black cross bands. In adults this color partially fades away.[3] Scales on its neck are smooth and oval.[3] It has a yellow tongue, which is a shared characteristic of the V. doreanus species complex.[7]

Ecology

Like other monitors of the V. doreanus species complex, the blue-tailed monitor feeds on a relatively high amount of vertebrate prey such as birds, especially when compared to other monitors of the subgenus Euprepriosaurus. It will also feed on invertebrates such as beetles.[5]

Like many monitor lizards, males fight over females and territory by standing on their hindlegs and grappling with each other.

In Australia, they are predated on by black-headed pythons.[8]

It is sympatric with the mangrove monitor and the peach-throated monitor in many parts of its range.[5]

Il varano dalla coda azzurra (Varanus doreanus Meyer, 1874)[2][3], o varano di Kalabeck[1], è una specie della famiglia dei Varanidi. Appartiene al complesso di specie indicus del sottogenere Euprepiosaurus. Malgrado sia noto agli scienziati da moltissimo tempo, V. doreanus non è mai stato accuratamente studiato e per questo non compare nella Lista rossa della IUCN[2].

Descrizione

Il varano dalla coda azzurra è di colore azzurro-grigiastro. Le squame del collo sono lisce e ovali. Può raggiungere una lunghezza totale di 135 cm[1].

Distribuzione e habitat

Vive nelle regioni costiere di tutta la Nuova Guinea, nella Nuova Britannia e nelle Isole Bismarck[4]. Si incontra anche in Australia, sull'estremità settentrionale della penisola di Capo York.

Biologia

Fortemente legato all'ambiente acquatico e assai attivo, il varano dalla coda azzurra è in grado di correre, nuotare, arrampicarsi e interrarsi con pari abilità.
