Interesting Species
Sago monitor (Varanus obor), endemic to the island of Sanana in the Maluku Islands. The name obor (Meaning "torch" in Indonesian) came from their coloration, having orange snout while the rest of their body are dark.

These two might be of different localities rather than subspecies (V. s. bivittatus).
