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*.

Females may be able to retain sperm, and females held in confinement have been able to lay fertile eggs. Varanus niloticus has been demonstrated to be capable of parthenogenesis. The main breeding season is June to September. Males, however, begin to show combat behaviour in April. Females dig a nest hole in level ground or a vertical bank and lay the eggs inside, filling it up and using their snouts to compact the soil. The females often dig false nests nearby and shovel soil around the area. They sometimes make use of a termite mound to nest. A single clutch of about 20 eggs are laid. The eggs hatch in 168 to nearly as long as 254 days.[18] About 40 to 80% of the eggs may hatch

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.
The Black-throated Monitor Lizard can be found in Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa. It is the heaviest-bodied lizard in Africa and mature males can weigh up to 35 pounds. This guy's name is Amani and you can visit him at Out of Africa Wildlife Park in Camp Verde.
Varanus varius
Striking colours on this individual. Seen 3 within 20 minutes at my local. Previous years I would have been lucky to see one in many visits
Such a gorgeous creature ❤️
At nearly two meters (7 ft) long, the Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) is Africa’s largest lizard and one of the most intelligent reptiles on Earth.
With keen eyesight, sharp claws, and a powerful tail, it is an apex predator in many freshwater ecosystems.
Revered and feared, the Nile monitor plays a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance of riverine and wetland habitats across sub-Saharan Africa.
This Lace Monitor is a new resident of our zoo. The species is native to Australia and they are the second largest monitors there. Lace Monitors reach a total length of about 2 m (7 ft) and a weight of about 14 kg (30 lb). I think they are beautiful animals and I will certainly try to take more photos of them in the near future.
Monitor lizards feed on a huge variety of food types (eg. insects, crabs, snakes, fish, etc); they control the population of their prey, and in turn are a source of food to larger predators (eg. crocodiles).
The carrion meat that get stuck in the monitor’s teeth are teeming with bacteria that can cause infections in the bite wound. However, the main cause of death of preys is the venom secreted by the monitor.
While the monitor uses its venom to kill its small preys (symptoms include rapid swelling, drop in blood pressure, and blood clot inhibition), it has a relatively mild effect on humans.*

a monitor lizard or iguana at Entopia, Penang. These lizards are very common in South-East Asia. Although I live in an urban area in Kuala Lumpur, one (about 4-5 feet long) came into my garden and up to my window a few years back. They are quite harmless but their claws are really sharp and can do serious damage to our skins.
