Arthur the Argus monitor tripoding. Such a cool behavior from this species! #argusmonitor #reptile #lizard | Kamp Kenan

Great display of how Monitor Lizards use their tail as a defensive weapon. A hard whip from an Argus Monitor, Lace Monitor or Perentie can leave serious welts and even break the skin.. trust me. 🦎💥 Merten’s Water Monitor Northern Territory Australia | Wildman Adventures

This spectacular wild yellow-spotted monitor was filmed by reptile enthusiast Dan Rumsey, zookeeper at Australian Reptile Park. Also known as the Argus monitor, the adults can grow to a length of 1.5 meters. Turn your volume on for this folks, you're going to want to hear that incredible hiss!
