The Kumi Lizard is similar to what moniter lizard that was part of a megafaunal assemblage that inhabited southern Australia during the Pleistocene?
Kumi Lizard The Kumi Lizard is a cryptid reptile, possibly a giant monitor lizard, which allegedly once lived in New Zealand. It is similar to the giant extinct Australian lizard Megalania except that it allegedly lives in trees.
Nothomyrmecia Nothomyrmecia, also known as the dinosaur ant or dawn ant, is a rare genus of ants consisting of a single species, Nothomyrmecia macrops. It lives in South Australia, nesting in old-growth mallee woodland and "Eucalyptus" woodland. The full distribution of "Nothomyrmecia" has never been assessed, and it is unknown how widespread it really is; its potential range may be wider if it does favour old-growth mallee woodland. Possible threats to its survival include habitat destruction and climate change. "Nothomyrmecia" is most active when it is cold because workers encounter fewer competitors and predators such as "Camponotus" and "Iridomyrmex", and it also increases hunting success. Thus, the increase of temperature may prevent them from foraging and very few areas would be suitable for the ant to live in. As a result, the IUCN lists the ant as Critically Endangered.
