The Savannah Monitor, and all monitors in
general, are considered to be one of the most intelligent lizards.
With proper training in captivity, they may even come to you
on command.
Most Savannah Monitors are brown
or grey and have white spots on their backs. In the upper part
of a Savannah Monitors skull, there is actually a third eye.
There is no vision through this eye, rather it serves to absorb
ultraviolet light. Their scientific name means "eruptive
monitor".
