The desert spiny lizard captures its prey when the temperature exceeds 30 C but can only digest at 37 C or more. Males at the peak of activity bob their heads very frequently, moving them up and down with incredible speed. If a conspecific finds itself bobbed at in this way, it can react in a variety of ways-a weaker male will flee immediately, but a female usually holds her ground.  1, record 3, English, - desert%20spiny%20lizard

British made Search And Rescue And Homing(SARAH) beacon SRI 23006 was a UHF rescue beacon comprising speech unit, transmitter/receiver unit, coding unit and combined LT/HT battery. The first three units are permanently interconnected. Attached to the transmitter/receiver unit is a leaf spring aerial which fold up to very small dimensions. The SARAH beacon has three modes of operation. In the normal beacon condition pulses on a frequency of 243 MHz are being automatically transmitted. The pulses are transmitted in a rate of 210 pairs per second, the spacing between the pulses in each pair is determined by the coding unit and is a distinguishing feature between the beacons.(Note that the normal beacon operation has much in common with the war-time developed "Walter" beacon). The peak power in this mode is 15 watts and the battery life is about 20 hours continuous operation.  1, record 8, English, - search%20and%20rescue%20and%20homing%20beacon
