Discussion
- Males are assumed not to differ
- age at puberty is ignored because it is incosistent with Lp combined with tL data
Facts
- Temperature <26 C, males develop from eggs, >29.5 Cfemales (Ref: ADW)
- Males are larger tha females (Ref: Wiki)
- A vermiform appendage on the tip of its tongue used to lure fish (Ref: Wiki)
