Two totally different animals. I don't even think I could make a comparison between the two other than thier feeding responses and the fact that they have four legs. Monitors are more streamlined, quicker on thier feet, and "seem" a bit more intelligent. Tegus are bulkier, and made for slower, deliberate actions. However if you do feed Tegu's white Rats, make sure you don't wear white shoes. More often than not, they tend to eat first, and question it later ( I know from expierience ). Convergent evolution? Maybe, but thats about where it stops
