Some are small reptiles of less than a foot in length, while the Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard, grows to 364 lb. All monitors are tropical reptiles. They are active lizards, that may be very hostile, lashing out with their tails upon the slightest provocation. Even a small monitor can produce a stinging lash with its tail. The claws of monitors are long and sharp. The jaws are very strong. Once they bite something it is very difficult to get them to let go. Monitors are carnivorous and will devour anything they are capable of dismembering and gulping down. Species which live in or near water will readily eat fish. Monitors do not divest themselves of their tails, like some other lizards. Once lost, the tail of a monitor does not grow back. The Savanna monitor, Varanus exanthematicus

The latter adaptation reveals the other relatives of the monitor lizards: snakes (Serpentes) are believed to have evolved from a sister group to the Varanidae. edit Origin of Name It has been said that the name of monitor lizards is derived from a superstition that the creatures would give a warning about the presence of crocodiles . However, this explanation may be apocryphal. According to

They have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs. Most species are terrestrial , but arboreal and semi-aquatic monitors are also known.

Ast Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Autarchoglossa Family: Varanidae Members of this Family Varanidae is an ancient group of anguinomorph lizards, comprising about 50-60 species into the genus Varanus . Varanids are found in Africa, central and southern mainland Asia and Malaysian and Indonesian islands, Papua New Guinea, and Australia (where about half the species are found). Monitors are robust, diurnal lizards with long, non-autotomous tails and elongate necks. Varanids have nine cervical vertebrae, a condition they share with Lanthanotus , while all other lizards have eight or fewer. They also have long forked tongues that are used for chemoreception, reminiscent of but not identical to snakes' tongues. The hemipenes of varanids are unusually ornate, and have paired apical horns. Monitors range in length and weight from the diminutive short-tailed monitor 's 20 cm and 20 g to the Komodo dragon 's 3 m and 54 kg. The feeding biology of monitors is also diverse, ranging from

8. Fossil Monitor Lizards History of Monitors lizards, which may help you learn a little more about your pet. http://www.fossilnews.com/1995/varanus.html

Monitor lizards or goannas (family Varanidae) are common in tropical and subtropical areas of the globe today, consisting of almost three dozen species spread across Africa, Asia, the East Indies, and Australia. The largest is the ferocious, 3-meter Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) which will eat livestock and humans; most varanids are smaller (though still fairly large as lizards go a meter or two long), and feed on small animals, molluscs, insects, and eggs. The first fossils of the genus Varanus are found in Africa in the Early Miocene, while the family Varanidae has a fossil history extending back into the Cretaceous of Mongolia. The nearest living relatives of modern goannas are the earless monitor Lanthanotus, an obscure southeast Asian lizard, and the gila monster and beaded lizard of the genus Heloderma. The true monitor lizards form a cohesive group that is easily identifiable by their streamlined shape, elongated neck, semi-erect posture, and forked tongue. They inhabit a variety of econiches ranging from savannah to woodland to riparian habitats. Those monitors which spend a lot of time in the water have tall neural spines on their tail vertebrae. This makes the tail tall and flat so that it is useful as an organ of propulsion. The earliest known member of the genus, Varanus rusingensis from the Miocene of Kenya, also had such a tail and was probably semiaquatic like the Nile monitor

Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated December 18, 2009 Monitor Lizards Varanus sp. A brief species overview for the prospective first-time monitor buyer... This is one of the earliest reptile articles I wrote and, like most of my articles then and later, was in response to the too many people who had decided that they wanted something "cooler", more impressive (i.e., bigger, scarier to others, less frequently seen in the pet trade) lizards. Most of the individuals seeking "cooler" lizards seemed to want something bigger than green iguanas and less common (and bigger) than savanna monitors. Thus there were all sorts of people who had never owned a lizard before, rushing out and buying Nile and water monitors without regard for the fact that they knew little to nothing about them other than their common name. Since the following is from a message board post (Prodigy, AOL, rec.pets.herp) it is a bit less structured than my more formal articles. To start out, you might want to stay away from the "giant" monitors, especially the Nile (

Home Store Catalog Animals ... Gallery Search our site Notes on the Feeding of Monitor Lizards Notes on the Feeding of Monitor Lizards - By Jonathan Rheins NOTES ON THE FEEDING OF MONITOR LIZARDS Monitor lizards of the genus Varanus have long been popular among reptile enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience. These large, intelligent creatures can provide an extremely rewarding pet experience if they are properly cared for and their needs met. In general, the herp-keeping community has advanced in leaps and bounds during the past few decades as all aspects of captive care and breeding were further researched and refined. The result is a current understanding of monitor biology and behavior, that while by no means complete, has led us much closer to our ultimate goal, that of making our pets feel truly at home. Most aspects of monitor care, such as housing, can indeed be troublesome with larger species, but it is still fairly straightforward; provide your animals with as much space as possible without compromising functionality or security. Feeding however, leaves many more questions unanswered. What to feed them. How much? How often? What about supplements? All of these quandaries are often faced by first time monitor owners who may or may not receive accurate answers. While current publications on monitor husbandry tend to be quite acceptable, the data in older books is likely outdated. Additionally, monitors are a wildly diverse group of animals, with individual species having specific dietary requirements. Despite this, some generalizations can be made, and most of them will seem completely logical when explored in the proper context.

Their nostrils are placed high on the snout, indicating that these animals are highly aquatic, but are also excellent climbers and quick runners on land.
