We present the results of a study of the habitat, demography, spatial distribution, activity, and diet of this lizard. Our observations indicate that individuals of T. przewalskii are active foragers that feed primarily on beetles, and are strictly nocturnal. Individuals of this species do not protect territories, but do exhibit aggressive behavior. We present a detailed analysis of home ranges over a five year period.
