Monitor lizard...

Monitor lizard...
An old shot from Sydney, Australia. This fellow was about 5-6ft. long.

There are 25 subspecies of monitor lizards in Australia. This one is a Lace Monitor, Bells Phase:www.zoochat.com/community/media/lace-monitor-bells-phase.136134
The photo is from the Featherdale Zoo in Sydney, so the lizard in that page may be this exact one.

Another source states, "Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA shows the lace monitor to be the closest relative (sister taxon) of the Komodo dragon..." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lace_monitor

I thought so, too! Rather daunting to have him look me in the eye. Thank you, Marj!
