Hi Shvar,
It is complicated, as the animals themselves have such tremendous variety in color, size, head-size, scale size and so on...across an enormous Continent that averages 3000 feet above-sea-level, and yet has regions below sea level across the Continent....all where V. albigularis can be found. In some places, like the Ruzizi Plains, you can find morphs of V. albigularis, V. exanthematicus, V. ocellatus; in South Africa are populations of V. ornatus, a rainforest dweller of equatorial Africa.

And then there are the 'other' Varanus reports, and 2 of them are proof of the pudding of their existence, with 6 x 6 photos I have in my possession...Africa is a terribly old ancient Continent, and I am certain she still has many secrets she is keeping close to her heart, and some of those are Varanus.

Cheers,
mbayless
