June 5th - 6th - Monitor Lizard

What the hell is a Monitor Lizard?  I mentioned this to a friend of mine and she was like, "Oh, yeah, that does look like a Monitor Lizard."  Now, she lives in Texas, so maybe they have a lot of those down there or something, but I really have no idea.  I'm really only familiar with the little lizards that crawl on the outside of my house.  And the ones that I have seen at the aquarium, but I'm not even very familiar with those...it's not like I could name any...okay, to Google I go.  Yeah okay, I can see it...
