Lizard Kings

They look like dragons. Equipped with dangerous claws, razor-sharp teeth and long, powerful tails, rock monitors are the largest lizards in the world. No other animal family offers such a broad range, from dwarf monitors which become only 20 cm long up to the famous "Komodo Dragon", which can become up to 3 m long and can be extremely dangerous. However they are mainly one thing: exceptionally clever. No other reptile can compare with their brain.
