Scientists have announced the discovery of an enormous lizard called the Varanus bitatawa. Long known to local hunters, this lizard lives in the Philippines. It stretches to about six-and-a-half feet long and weighs about 22 pounds.
This new lizard is closely related to the Komodo dragon. But, unlike the Komodo, the Varanus bitatawa is a vegetarian. This species eats fruit and is very secretive. Scientists say the discovery “comes as an unprecedented surprise.”
that would be a good pair of boots!
Seriously man, why make a pair of boots?
i want one for a pet.
I catch lizards in my backyard all the time, but none like this.
Awesome! Monitor lizards are so cool.
That’s probably the closest thing to a dinosaur on earth!!!
I don’t want to meet that!
