Hello Andy,

Yes it did surpass the komodo monitor in length (ca. 1896), but not overall bulk = the komodo is still the heavist overall; the crocodile monitor is probably 'also' longer than either the komodo or water but is very lithe and light weight, more adapted to its arboreal life-style...but all are basically ambush predators, with the water monitor more of a scavenger when very large.... taking from fishermen, homes, and alike whenever possible = the most adaptable of varans

cheers,
