As waters changes flora and fauna keeps evolving, no living organism can avoid this change, biology and morphology data of today’s varanids will eventually describe extinct monitors in a not so distant future, in truth these species will have evolved but not the data. Therefore what makes a specie and how can we set any standards? Perhaps today’s science dose not have the tools yet to support classification of species?
