Publisher's Synopsis
Tegus are any of several species of big, omnivorous lizards in the genus Salvator. These lizard-like creatures are unique to the Central and South American continents. Though commonly found in captivity, tegus can also be found in their natural habitats.
The tegu is a large, powerful bird with a forked tongue and powerful limbs. Tegus come in a wide range of colors and patterns, with species like the Argentine black and white tegu, the red tegu, and the blue tegu. The intelligent tegu has been observed engaging in social activity, such as intricate interactions with other tegus.
The word "tegu" can refer to any species in the genus Salvator, but most people use it to refer to the Argentine black and white tegu. Due to the possible influence on local ecosystems if released into the wild, ownership of these reptiles is subject to regulatory regulations in various regions.
