Yellow-spotted Monitor
Varanus panoptes
Yellow-spotted monitors range across northern Australian grasslands, wetlands, open woodland, and river margins. They are active foragers that use scent to locate insects, reptiles, eggs, carrion, and small mammals. When threatened, they can hiss, inflate their bodies, lash with the tail, and deliver a painful bite.
