Yellow-headed water monitor

The yellow-headed water monitor (Varanus cumingi ), also commonly known as the Philippine water monitor or Cuming's water monitor, is a large species of monitor lizard in the family Varanidae. Varanus cumingi was previously recognized as a subspecies of the water monitor (Varanus salvator), but today is acknowledged as a species in its own right.[2][3] It feeds on birds, fish, mammals, and carrion. The species thrives in forest and water margins in tropical refuges.
