Distribution of Monitor Lizards

They are widely distributed across Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, China, Australia, and surrounding islands. They have also been introduced outside their natural range, such as the Nile monitor in South Florida. They occurred in Europe during the Neogene (23–2.6 million years ago) and survived there until the Middle Pleistocene (~0.8–0.1 million years ago).
