goanna

Structural:A goanna is a kind of lizard.
Goannas are covered in scales that are dry so they can service the drought .The goanna is about 160 cm long altogether. Its head and body measure about 70 cm. Its body is flattened; it has strong legs with long toes and claws. It has a long neck .It can give a fierce blow with its long tail. It has a tongue rather like a snake’s, which it flicks in and out.

Functional:Goannas climb trees well and swim strongly. They can rear up or run quickly on their hind legs when threatened. They dig a system of burrows.

Behavioural:A goanna spreads out its neck so it looks bigger then it is in real life.Goannas stand on two legs so it runs faster.
