About
The Asian water monitor is a large semiaquatic lizard, ranking as the second-heaviest lizard species in the world.
This species is widely recognized as the second-largest lizard on Earth, surpassed only by the Komodo dragon. Males usually grow noticeably larger and heavier than females. More than half of its total length consists of its muscular, flattened tail, which it uses to swim through rivers and canals. While typical adults average around 4.9 feet (1.5 m), rare individuals in the wild can grow considerably larger.
