Discussion
- Temperatures are guessed
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only
- scaled functional response seems to increase slightly with age
Facts
- Called sungazer because of its distinctive thermoregulatory behaviour of elevating the anterior parts of the body by extending its fore limbs, usually near the entrance of its burrow as if looking at the sun (Ref: Wiki)
