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.
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.

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.

The water monitor is one of the most striking members of the Reptile family and is second in size only to the Nile crocodile. Including the tail, large adults can reach lengths of up to nearly 2.5 meters. Its body is adorned with beautiful yellow patterning, aiding it to be well camouflaged in its preferred habitat close to bodies of water and reed beds. Although usually found close to water, these monitors are not water dependent and will actively forage for food on land, traveling large distances from water if need be. They are also capable of climbing trees but are usually found basking on riverbanks.
