If I asked you to name the largest lizard in Australia you would probaly say "the Goanna". This is a term often used to describe any one of a number of species of large lizards we encounter when out in the bush and it is often used in conjunction with the terms "that's a large one" or "Check out the little one". Most of us probably assume the bigger they are the older they are the smaller the lizard the younger it is. The truth is that "Goanna" is a generic term that is used in reference to a number of species of Monitor Lizards. The most common useage is in reference to the Lace Monitor (varanus varius) which is one of the largest in Australia, second to the Perentie, but there are other species that are smaller and are often confused for young/juvenile versions of the Lace Monitor.

Through our inaturalist research project we have successfully identified 3 species of Monitor Lizard who are permanent residents of the Sandy Creek Centre. You can check out thier details in the images or go to https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/projects/sandy-creek-centre-biome
