Description: | This is one of the large monitor lizards. The largest monitor, the Kemodo Dragon, can be dangerous to humans. They are all carnivorous, and as the picture shows, there are only a few sharp teeth at the front of the mouth for grasping prey and some very tough rounded ones at the back for crushing. These lizards swallow their food whole, or in pieces, and all the digesting is done in their internal organs. This is an Old World group which is not found in the UK. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.vertebratezoology.201728 | Go to resource |
