the goanna & the dragon

The goanna or monitor lizard is a common sight in Australia. It features prominently in Aboriginal mythology and Australian folklore. The Lace Goanna or Lace Monitor (Varanus varius) is the second largest Australian goanna and can grow to two metres. If a Lace Monitor feels threatened it will definitely race for the nearest tree. Like other goannas they hunt and forage for their food on the ground. Goannas combine predatory and scavenging behaviour. A goanna will prey upon any animal it can catch that is small enough to eat whole.
The best known monitor lizard is one of the biggest species, the Komodo Dragon (varanus komodoensis)

The name goanna was given to Australian monitor lizards by the early European settlers. They thought the monitor lizards looked like the South American Iguanas.

Komodo dragons are HUGE, and dangerous. One bite can kill you. Ordinary monitor lizards are smaller.
