Crocodile Monitor

Today I found some info that may blow your mind! Have you always thought that the Komodo Dragon was the biggest lizard? The Komodo Dragon is the heaviest lizard, but the Crocodile Monitor (Varanus Salvadorii) is the longest.

 Here's a picture that's a lot of tail! They are very arboreal (spends more time in the trees). Some Croc Monitors have been "seen" up to 20ft. The Crocodile Monitors are carnivores and they can tackle something as small as a mouse to as big as a deer! They eat eggs too, and lay up to 12 eggs. They are diurnal they stay up during the day and go to sleep at night like humans do. They do occasionally come down from the trees to eat, drink, etc.
