Kuhl's angelhead lizard (Gonocephalus kuhlii)

Kuhl's angelhead lizard (Gonocephalus kuhlii) is a species of animal in the Agamidae, medium size, basic color green or yellow or brown, eyes protected by movable petals and surrounded by a slightly dark color, has the ability to change color by mood changes and sexual dimorphism.

G. kuhlii has a short head with a triangular shape. The head scales are medium in size, variable, smooth and have a few tubercles that extend above the ears. Heterodont teeth with acrodont type, the dorsal tongue is covered by reticular papillae.

Having an external ear canal, the tympanic membrane stands out about half the diameter of the eye when it is open. Flat tail with a cylindrical tip. The tail has a function as a stabilizer when moving in the trees. Color pattern of dark and light rings.

The limbs are relatively long and slender. Each limb has five fingers equipped with sharp claws for semi-arboreal adaptations as a tool for gripping tree bark and moving easily to chase prey or escape from predators.

Kuhl's angelhead lizard lives at an elevation of 500-1600 meters in tropical rain forests, near rivers, with sufficient lighting with certain soil and air humidity. Tend to be diurnal, tend to be inactive at night and sleep in a vertical position.

Javan broadhead planarian (Bipalium javanum)

Cacing palu or Javan broadhead planarian ( Bipalium javanum ) is a species of animal in Geoplanidae, hermaphrodite, living on the ground, predators, often called only hammerhead or broadhead or shovel worms because of wide heads and simple copulatory organs. B. javanum has a slim stature, up to 20 cm long, up to 0.5 cm wide, head wide up to 1 cm or less, small neck, widening in the middle and the back end is rounded, all black and shiny. Javan broadhead planarians walk above ground level by raising their heads and actively looking left, right and looking up using strong neck muscles. Move swiftly, track meander, climb to get through all obstacles or make a new path if the obstacle is too high. Cacing palu track and prey on earthworms and mollusks. They use muscles and sticky secretions to attach themselves to prey to lock in. The head and ends of the body are wrapped around and continue to close the body to stop prey reactions. They produce tetrodotoxins which are very strong...

Morwood from the University of New England with Thomas Sutikna, Raden Pandji Soejono, Jatmiko, E.
