Wikipedia: The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most common monitor lizards in Asia, ranging from coastal northeast India, Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia to Indonesian islands where it lives close to water. Adults rarely exceed 1.5–2 m (4 ft 11 in–6 ft 7 in) in length, but the largest specimen on record, from Sri Lanka, measured 3.21 m (10.5 ft).
In Thailand, the local word for a water monitor, hia (เหี้ย), is used as an insulting word for bad and evil things, including bad persons. The word is also thought to bring bad luck, so some people prefer to call the animals 'silver-and-gold' (ตัวเงินตัวทอง) to avoid the jinx.

La scena era per testare un tele 400 di un mio amico, puntando nel mezzo della lampada da scrivania e il top del mio monitor...e' venuta fuori questa foto, simpatica per uno sfondo di scrivania.
Auf dem Weg zu den Moken.

The monitor displays a history of fuel consumption for the last half hour, averaged over five-minute intervals. The "Current" MPG reading at the right is zero when the car is not moving, is off the top of the scale when the car is moving but the gasoline engine is off, and otherwise shows the fuel economy you're achieving moment by moment.Then it's averaged over five minutes, and displayed on the chart at the left; the little car symbols show how much energy you've put back into the battery pack using regenerative braking.
Mertens' water monitor (Varanus mertensi), is a species of lizard in the family Varanidae. The species is endemic to northern Australia, and is a wide-ranging, actively foraging, opportunistic predator of aquatic and riparian habitats.
It grows to a total length (including tail) of about 1.0 m (3.3 ft). It is dark brown to black above, with many cream to yellow spots. The underparts are paler – white to yellowish – with grey mottling on the throat and blue-grey bars on the chest. The tail is strongly compressed laterally, with a high median dorsal keel, and is about 1.5 times the length of head and body.
Varanus mertensi is semiaquatic, a strong swimmer, and seldom far from water. It is often seen basking on midstream rocks and logs, and on branches overhanging swamps, lagoons, and waterways throughout its range. When disturbed, it drops into the water, where it can stay submerged for long periods.

I've been reading a lot of Justice League recently, so this is just one of the groups I was inspired to make during reading.
Was lucky enough to see this Monitor sitting by the side of Fogg Dam. Jumped out the car, alittle nervous about crocodiles and quickly snapped away. It posed nicely for a few minutes before crossing the road and disappearing into the scrub.
Thanks for the name correction Rob!

The Kunsthochschule Kassel has a big exhibition in Kassel right now - embedded in the project Spaziergang Kassel; and I am shooting a little documentary on it *yay*.
