Blue-spotted tree monitor
The blue-spotted tree monitor (''Varanus macraei'') or blue tree monitor, is a species of monitor lizard found on the island of Batanta in Indonesia. It is named after Duncan MacRae, founder of the reptile park Rimba on Bali.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Reptile Database )〕
==Description==
''V. macraei'' is part of the prasinus- group and subgenera Euprepiosaurus. As its name suggests, it is black with scattered blue scales, forming spots that may in turn form bands across the back. The tip of the snout is light blue and the lower jaw is white with uniform turquoise scales along the neck, forming a v-shaped pattern. There are less than 9 dorsal crossbands and the legs are heavily spotted with turquoise ocelli. There are 85–103 scale rows at midbody. A single distinct blue scale row stretches from the lower angle of the eye to the upper edge of the ear. Its throat is light with dark spots forming a reticulated pattern. Like all members of the prasinus- group, with 22–23 more or less symmetrical blue rings, the tail is prehensile and about 1.95× as long as SVL.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Monitor Lizards.net )〕 Male blue-spotted monitors reach a larger maximum size than female blue-spotted monitors, and they can be distinguished by the comparatively broader temporal region and distinct hemipenal bulges posterolateral to the cloaca. Adult male blue-spotted monitors may reach feet in total length, and female blue-spotted monitors are about 4 inches shorter than the male blue-spotted monitors, making ''V. macraei'' the largest known species of the ''V. prasinus'' complex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blue-Spotted Monitor )〕
