Dragon-sized lizard eluded science, until now - Science- msnbc.com

A giant, spectacularly colored new species of monitor lizard has just been revealed to scientists in the Philippines.

The reptile, which is roughly 6 feet long (1.8 meters), is kin to Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizards. Named Varanus bitatawa, this newly discovered species, decorated in stripes of gold flecks and armed with huge, curved claws for climbing trees, is one of only three fruit-eating monitor species in the world.

I would love to have one as a pet. I considered getting a water monitor for a little bit, but ended up getting a dog and cats, and I'm pretty sure it would eat them :lol:

A fruit eating one, while pricey to feed, would be cool.
