how fast is monitor lizard
The perentie monitor (Varanus giganteous) is the fastest of the monitors -- and also the fastest lizard ever recorded. The perentie has been clocked at about 25 mph -- the running speed of a world-class sprinter. Perentie monitors must be fast to catch their quick prey: namely rabbits and other monitor lizards.
