Names

The specific name, fuscoauratus, is derived from the Latin roots fuscus (combining form, fusco-) meaning 'dark' and auratus meaning 'golden'. The name describes the lizard's morphological characteristic of having a dark gold skin colour.

It is called tai tsjõ in the Kwaza language of Rondônia, Brazil.[4]

gollark: On the "I just want opencomputers to do what I want", it does not *know* what you want, and "I want it to display the RF here" is not a precise enough specification. A precise enough specification of what you want (which is also in a format the computer can understand) would be... code.
gollark: It can't interact with stuff outside the game (except internet cards), and you can edit, download, and do whatever else to it from within an OC computer.
gollark: This does *not* run "outside the game".
gollark: You can write software, in the form of Lua scripts, for OpenComputers computers.
gollark: Are you deliberately ignoring everything we have repeatedly and fairly clearly said?
