Save Tongo Lizards - Matthew Clegg
Tongo lizards are expected to live for a whopping 25 years! incredible! The Tongo Lizard is green and is exceedingly scaly. It uses its scales to protect itself from large falls from a tree. Although this is very rare to happen it’s just one more of the many things that makes this creature unique. Tongo Lizard males have very large tails, mainly used to fight other males to see who wins the female. A Tongo Lizard’s mating call is to jump into a females nest and make a high pitched screech. If the female doesn’t reply, he destroys the nest.
