The "Nile monitor" is a large species that can grow up to 2 meters in length. Its body is covered in large scales with a gray-brown or olive coloration, featuring yellow spots and bands that help it blend into its surroundings. These lizards have powerful limbs with sharp claws, which they use for digging burrows and climbing trees, as well as a long tail that can serve as a defensive weapon.

Nile monitors are found throughout Africa, typically near rivers, lakes, and swamps. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of prey such as fish, insects, small mammals, birds, and eggs. These lizards lead a semi-aquatic lifestyle and are excellent swimmers and divers.
