Researchers say blue-tongues seem to have evolved a chemical resistance while goannas that feed on venomous snakes have not
Blue-tongue lizards have developed a resistance to the venom of the red-bellied black snake, according to new research.
The largest animals in the skink family, blue-tongues seem to have evolved a chemical resistance to the snake venom, while carnivorous monitor lizards – goannas – that feed on Australia’s venomous snakes have not.
