Bengal monitor (Varanus bengalensis) or Common Indian Monitor, is a monitor lizard found widely distributed over South Asia. This large lizard is mainly terrestrial and grows to about 175 cm from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. Young monitors may be more arboreal but adults mainly hunt on the ground preying mainly on arthropods but also taking small terrestrial vertebrates, ground birds, eggs and fish. Although large monitors have few predators apart from humans who hunt them for meat, younger individuals are hunted by many predators. The species has a wide range from Iran to Java. This species is among the most widely distributed of varanid lizards. It is found in river valleys in eastern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Burma.
