Earless Monitor 2

Earless Monitor 2

The largest Earless Monitor ever found was 43 cm in length, but the average length is probably 33 cm. It has been theorized that this lizard is the missing link between the lizard and snake family. Evolution theory suggests that snakes arose from lizards. The Earless Monitor retains similarities with members of the snake family such as the absence of the external ear, forked tongue and similarities of teeth and skull. All earless monitors have been found in Borneo. [BM] {FW}
