Butaan start to visit fruiting trees before they are large enough to
swallow the fruits. They make repeat journeys to trees, perhaps to
reinforce memory of the position of the tree. If the youngster survives
it may continue to use this tree for many decades. Fruiting trees like
this are a vital resource for entire populations of butaan. Learn more >
The only obligate fruit-eaters among reptiles are three species of monitor lizard that live in the Philippines. Frugivorous vertebrates tend to be able to fly (almost all are bats and birds) and so these lizards have a unique ecological role as highly specialized and relatively immobile fruit eaters. Before this project started, the only studies of this unique giant and endangered lizard had involved killing the animals. We have developed a set of techniques that allow us to learn about these animals in a completely non-destructive way.
