Monitors

Monitor lizards come in a range of sizes but are very similar in terms of body shape.



Mertens' water monitor (Columbus Zoo). I often find this one basking like this. Sometimes it's in its pool.

Komodo dragon (Columbus Zoo). This one's a good eight feet long.

Komodo dragon (Minnesota Zoo). I wish I'd made a note of the skull's size. Maybe six inches long.
