Mitchell's water monitor is a large, slender lizard that lives in the northern rivers, swamps and lagoons of Australia. It spends much of its time near water and can climb trees. It is on the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered, so it matters a great deal to protect it.1

It lives in swamps, lagoons, inland rivers and other bodies of water. It is often found on trees near the water, where it shelters in tree hollows or under bark, and it often basks on rocks by the water. If disturbed, it heads for the water.1

Xibaar

1

Where cane toads arrived at Kakadu National Park, almost the entire population of this lizard was wiped out. Its numbers have been estimated to have dropped by as much as 97% within three years.1

2

Its eyesight is excellent, but it is night blind because its retinas have no rods, the cells used for night vision.1

3

The biggest threat to this lizard is the cane toad. Cane toads are poisonous to it, and it can eat the larger toads, which carry lethal doses of poison.1

4

The Australian name 'goanna' probably comes from 'iguana', because the first European settlers thought these lizards looked like the iguanas of South America.1
