July 2009. This appears to be the Sulawesi endemic of the Varanus salvator Complex of Water Monitor. It is called the Togian Monitor. Water Monitors are carnivores, and have a wide range of foods. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes. They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs. Like the Komodo Dragon, they will often eat carrion. As it's not their bite that will kill, rather the bacteria within the ridges of the mouth that will cause a nasty infection and cause their prey to die, they much prefer to feed on a corpse. That way they can feed without a struggle.
Monitor lizards are usually large reptiles, although some can be as small as 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length. They have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs. Most species are terrestrial, but arboreal and semiaquatic monitors are also known. Almost all monitor lizards are carnivorous, although Varanus bitatawa, Varanus mabitang and Varanus olivaceus are also known to eat fruit. They are oviparous, laying from seven to 37 eggs, which they often cover with soil or protect in a hollow tree stump.

This plot has been monitored since 1982 and has provided numerous insights. We've personally returned to this site every year for the past two decades.

The Emerald Tree monitor (Varanus prasinus), or the Green Tree monitor, is a small-to-medium-sized arboreal monitor lizard. It is known for its unusual coloration, which consists of shades from green to turquoise, topped with dark, transverse dorsal banding. This coloration helps camouflage it in its arboreal habitat. It also makes the Emerald Tree monitor highly coveted by private collectors and zoos alike.
Emerald tree monitors and their close relatives can be found in New Guinea, as well as several adjacent islands, on a few islands within the Torres Strait and in Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia. The green tree monitor is reported to thrive in lowland environments including tropical evergreen forests, palm swamps and cocoa plantations.
The emerald tree monitor is about 30-39 in (75–100 cm) long with a slender body that helps it support itself on narrow branches. It also has a prehensile tail and long claws that it uses to grip branches. Unlike other varanids this monitor defends its tail rather than lashing with it for defense when threatened. The soles of the feet of the emerald tree monitor have enlarged scales which aid the lizard when climbing.
The emerald tree monitor's diet consists of large tree dwelling insects such as katydids, stick insects, cockroaches, beetles, centipedes, spiders, crabs, birds, and small mammals. Before swallowing stick insects, the lizards tear off the legs. Captive specimens tear off the limbs of rodents prior to eating them and as a result they are capable of swallowing mammals of a considerable size: A 135-gram (4.8 oz) lizard was documented as eating a 40-gram (1.4 oz) rodent, an animal almost one-third its size. Paleontologist and Biology Professor at Temple University, Michael Balsai has observed V. prasinus eating fruit(bananas) in captivity as has herpetologist and author, Robert G. Sprackland.
Clutches consist of up to five eggs, each weighing 10.5-11.5 grams (0.370-0.406 ounces) and measuring about 2.0x4.5 cm (0.79-1.8 in). As many as three clutches are laid throughout the year; captive clutches have been laid in January, March, April, November, and December. The female emerald tree monitor lays her eggs in arboreal termite nests. The eggs hatch between 160–190 days, typically from June to November after which the young eat the termites and the termite's eggs within minutes of hatching. Sexual maturity is reached in about two years.

This huge monitor lizard is one of the creatures, along with green snakes and macaques, that roam free at the Singapore Zoo
Walking round the pets section of one of our local garden centres, yesterday, I spotted this little guy, just begging to have his photo taken!
The Lace Monitor, or Lace Goanna, Varanus varius, is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the Perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 metres (over 6 ft 10ins) with a head and body length of up to 76.5 cm (2½ ft). The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body. Maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg.(44 lb), but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).
They are mainly active from September to May, but are inactive in cooler weather and shelter in a tree hollow or under a fallen tree or large rock.
The females lay from 4 to 14 eggs in spring or summer in termite nests. They frequently attack the large composting nests of Scrub Turkeys to steal their eggs, and often show injuries on their tails inflicted by male scrub turkeys pecking at them to drive them away.
Their diet typically consists of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds and birds' eggs. They are also carrion eaters, feeding on already dead carcasses of other wildlife. Lace monitors will also forage in areas inhabited by people, raiding chicken coops for poultry and eggs, rummaging through unprotected domestic garbage bags, and trash cans in picnic and recreational areas.
Like all Australian goannas, they were a favourite traditional food of Australian Aboriginal peoples and their fat was particularly valued as a medicine and for use in ceremonies
Lace monitors are found in two broad forms. The main form is dark grey to dull blueish black with numerous scattered cream spots. The snout is marked with prominent black and yellow bands extending under the chin and neck. The tail has narrow black and cream bands which are narrow and get wider towards the end of the tail.
The other type, known as 'Bells Form', is typically found in dryer parts of NSW and Queensland. It has broad black and yellow bands across the body and tail. Close up these bands are made up of various spotted patterns.

Anchor Windlass Monitoring System

Monitor Systems computerised Anchor Windlass Monitoring System (AWS M2000) facilitates and adds real value to operator control. Using a uniquely simplified menu structure, the system provides increased accuracy and totally reliable measurement of anchor winch parameters with both central control room and local windlass monitoring displays. Speed and distance are measured through proximity sensors whilst tension is determined by sub-sea rated load cells or pins. Using stainless steel wall mounted cabinets, data is gathered using PLC DAQ, Profibus DP or fibre optic high-speed networks and shown in graphical and tabular formats. This flexible system can also be expanded to include other control functions required by the client.
Case Study
Anchor Windlass Monitoring System
Overview: The Anchor Winch Monitoring System installed onboard Dolphin Byford by Monitor Systems is designed to monitor anchor tension, chain length, payout speed and motor current in addition to providing control outputs for overspeed on all twelve winches holding the rig. Utilising a fibre optic network for communicating between winches and the control room, the system uses a Siemens PLC with remote HMI's in each windlass cab and two IPC's in the control room and pilot-house.
Two 300 tonnes load pins on the Brattvagg windlasses and hydraulic load cells with pressure transducers on the National windlasses measure anchor tension. Chain length and speed is verified by proximity sensors picking up targets on the main gypsy wheel.The system graphically displays tensions, speeds and chain lengths as well as providing trending of anchor tensions and built in alarm functions via colour touch screens in all winch cabs and the main control room. It also allows viewing of data from all winches at any station. Customer: Dolphin Drilling.

Commander Bobbie Scholley, commanding officer of Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit-Two, Little Creek, VA, uses a suction hose to clear out the engine compartment of the USS Monitor. Scholley and other Navy divers are working closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) in a joint venture to salvage the main engine from the wreck to be preserved and later displayed at the MarinerÕs museum in Newport News, VA. U.S. Navy divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The USS Monitor went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.
