The Bengal monitor (Varanus bengalensis) or common Indian monitor, is a monitor lizard found widely distributed over the Indian Subcontinent, as well as parts of Southeast Asia and West Asia. This large lizard is mainly terrestrial, and its length can range from about 61 to 175 cm from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. Young monitors may be more arboreal, but adults mainly hunt on the ground, preying mainly on arthropods, but also taking small terrestrial vertebrates, ground birds, eggs and fish.
This is an old monitor which serves as the base for the new bed. Muahahahaha. The story takes an evil turn to scrapping an old monitor.
The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry and an enclosure. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size.
A lovely encounter with a monitor lizard on the banks of the river in Gorongosa.

Recording how much nitrogen oxide we exhale for an experiment that is diagnosing lung health, helping patients on Earth – later in the Horizons mission we will repeat this experiment in the airlock in reduced pressure.

Für das Airway Monitoring-Experiment zeichnen wir auf, wieviel Stickoxid wir ausatmen. Es diagnostiziert die Gesundheit der Lunge und hilft Patienten auf der Erde. Später in der Horizons-Mission werden wir dieses Experiment in der Luftschleuse unter reduziertem Druck wiederholen.

The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator), also called common water monitor, is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most common monitor lizards in Asia, ranging from Sri Lanka and coastal northeast India to Indochina, Malay Peninsula, and Indonesian islands where it lives close to water. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The Asian water monitor is also called Malayan water monitor, common water monitor, two-banded monitor, rice lizard, ring lizard, plain lizard and no-mark lizard, as well as simply water monitor. The local name in Sri Lanka is kabaragoya, denoting a subspecies with distinct morphological features. The Asian water monitor is widely distributed from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, the Chinese Guangxi and Hainan provinces, Malaysia, Singapore to the Sunda islands Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo and Sulawesi. It inhabits primarily lowland freshwater and brackish wetlands. It has been recorded up to an altitude of 1,800 m. Asian water monitors are semiaquatic and opportunistic; they inhabit a variety of natural habitats though predominantly this species resides in primary forests and mangrove swamps. It has been noted that these monitors are not deterred from living in areas of human disturbance. In fact, they have been known to adapt and thrive in agricultural areas as well as cities with canal systems (such as in Sri Lanka, where they are not hunted or persecuted by humans). This species does not thrive in habitats with extensive loss of natural vegetation and aquatic resources. Habitats that are considered to be most important to this species are mangrove vegetation, swamps, wetlands, and altitudes below 1000 meters. 16135
Back to the Dockyard now! This is a shot of HMS Monitor in her dock, with HMS Victory and one of the buildings I worked in in the background.
Info below!
HMS M33 is an M29-class monitor of the Royal Navy built in 1915. She saw active service in the Mediterranean during the First World War and in Russia during the Allied Intervention in 1919. She was used subsequently as a mine-laying training ship, fuelling hulk, boom defence workshop and floating office, being renamed HMS Minerva and Hulk C23 during her long life. She passed to Hampshire County Council in the 1980s and was restored to original condition and is now located at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. She is one of only three surviving Royal Navy warships of the First World War and the only surviving ship from the Gallipoli Campaign.
The river behind the beach in Salang Beach, Pulau Tioman is teeming with giant monitor lizards. Although they coexist well with humans, it's still probably in your best interest to photograph from a distance!
This Poor monitor was on the receiving end of a angry nurse, what she threw at it iam not sure(probably a patient).
