DavidBrown 3 Dec 2011 This is a fantastic critter. I've never seen one in a zoo in the U.S. that I am aware of. Great photo. The Trekkie in me keeps seeing a Gorn (File:StarTrek-Gorn.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) when I look at this photo. Maybe the creature designer saw a photo of this monitor.

jbnbsn99 3 Dec 2011 There are plenty of them in the US. We usually call them Crocodile Monitors though.
