Malayan Water Monitor (Varanus salvator) raiding a Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) nest. There were 3 of them doing this today. The nest is ~ 9 meters up. They are excellent climbers & I have seen them raid a number of different bird nests (even barbets) over the years. #Perak #Malaysia

Ça y est, les sept bébés varans sont partis à la Ferme Tropicale et seront bientôt disponibles à la vente !

It can count to six, recognise faces, reproduce without a male, kill prey much larger than itself - and has a nasty, venomous bite
The monitor lizard is not a single species but an entire genus – Varanus – encompassing more than 80 species that together represent one of nature’s most successful reptilian lineages. "An attack can be fatal, due to their venom and bacteria..." The 3 deadliest, most lethal lizards the planet From a diminutive Australian species barely 25cm long to the mighty Komodo dragon stretching past 3m, it spans a size range unmatched by any other lizard family. Ancient, adaptable and surprisingly intelligent, it has occupied Africa, Asia and Australia for tens of millions of years. How many species of monitor lizards are there? More than 80 species are currently recognised within the genus Varanus, and new ones continue to be described – in 2026 three new species of rock-dwelling monitor lizards were discovered in northern Queensland. They range enormously in size, lifestyle and habitat. Is Harry the lizard real in Death in Paradise? And just what type of lizard is the beloved TV fan favourite? Australia is home to roughly half all species, where they are commonly known as goannas; others are spread across sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-East Asia, and the islands of the south-west Pacific. One species, the Nile...
