Thread Name: BS/Tech: I want a BIG Monitor
Subject: RE: BS/Tech: I want a BIG Monitor
I was speaking from a standpoint of distribution. Komodo dragons are huge (the reason it was posted, certainly) but they occur on a few islands and are not typical of the "regular" monitor lizards in the clan. In the vernacular they're called Komodo Dragons. I recognized type of lizard (Komodo) in the photo and didn't read the site to see more about it (the linkage to the monitor family). It's a case of sorting versus lumping, and skipping over a site without careful reading.
