Wikipedia: The clouded monitor (Varanus nebulosus) is a species of monitor lizard, native to Burma, Thailand and Indochina to West Malaysia, Singapore, Java, and Sumatra. They are excellent tree climbers. It belongs to the subgenus Empagusia along with the Bengal monitor, the Dumeril's monitor and other monitor lizards. It had previously been listed as a subspecies of Varanus bengalensis by some herpetologists. It is a diurnal monitor.
Ecology Asia: This is a medium-sized monitor which can reach 1.5 metres in total length, but specimens of this size are uncommon. Similar in appearance to the Malayan Water Monitor Varanus salvator, it is distinguished by the position of the nostrils which lie mid-way between the eye and snout.
Its colouration comprises yellow spots on a brown-grey base. This mainly terrestrial species can be found in habitats as diverse as scrubland and rainforest, but is generally encountered as it digs amongst leaf litter searching for beetles and other insects. It may also be spotted clinging high up on tree trunks or exploring tree holes: its sharp claws make it an excellent climber.
This species occurs in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Java and Sumatra.
Monitor lizard is a reptile with a long scaly body, movable eyelids, a long tapering tail and four legs, typically living in a hot dry region.

This land monitor (varanus bengalensis) raised its head nicely as I got closer to it. The animal's snout is a little muddy from foraging - its diet is varied, including mice, ants, fruit, frogs, spiders, scorpions and beetles. Photographed in Yala, near Kirinda, Sri Lanka.

The battle of the Monitor and the Merrimack took place on March 9, 1862 during the Civil War. The battle became famous because it was the first battle between two ironclad warships, the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. The CSS Virginia was referred to as the Merrimack because it was rebuilt into an ironclad warship from the burned-out hull of the USS Merrimack. While the Merrimack looked larger in the water and had a metal ram attached to the front of the ship, the Monitor had a low profile in the water and had a rotating gun turret that housed two 11 inch cannons. All day the two ships shot cannon balls at each other at close range without inflicting much damage to either ship. The battle, though inconclusive,
received worldwide attention and made it clear that ironclad ships were the future of naval warfare.
If you look at the likeness of the old ships, their shapes bear a striking resemblance to the shapes of these two buttes. The Merrimac Butte (the large rock to your left) and the Monitor Butte (on the right) are composed of Entrada sandstone. This Entrada sandstone is composed of three “members” or components—Dewey Bridge, Slickrock and Moab Tongue. The different “members” of the Entrada layer erode at different rates. The Dewey Bridge “member” erodes more quickly, causing the Slickrock cliffs to collapse. The process has created the Monitor and Merrimac Buttes.
