Name three sources of heat that caused the lizard's
temperature to rise during the day.
31. _______________________________
32. _______________________________
33. _______________________________
During the hottest part of the day, what were
34. the air tempearture __________
35. the ground
temperature _________
36. Why did the lizard's temperature stay below 40 °C? ________________________________
37. During stilting the tail is off the ground too. Why? _________________________________
37. What is the range between the lizard's low temperarure and high temperature? _______
38. What do you think the lizard's temperature would have
been from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM? _____
39. Why do you think it would be the temperature you predicted? ____________________________________
40. Researchers have discovered that keeping the body
temperature of captive lizards at a constant 36°C causes harm to the animals.
Lizards need a "resting period" during the night in order to stay
healthy. If you were a zookeeper what would you do to regulate the tewmperature in
the lizard's habitat?
