White-throated monitor : ウィキペディア英語版 | White-throated monitor
The white-throated monitor (''Varanus albigularis albigularis'') is a lizard found in southern Africa. They are usually gray-brown with yellowish or white markings, and can reach up to 2 m in length. They are found in Southern Africa, northwards to Angola, Zambia, and Mozambique. ==Taxonomy== First described by François Marie Daudin in 1802,〔 these lizards were previously classed as a subspecies of ''Varanus exanthematicus'', but have since been declared a distinct species based upon differences in hemipenal morphology.〔Bohme, W. (1991). ''New finding on the hemipenal morphology of monitor lizards and their systematic implications''. Mertensiella, 2, 42-49.〕 The generic name ''Varanus'' is derived from the Arabic word ''waral'' ورل, which is translated to English as "monitor". Their specific name comes from a compound of two Latin words: ''albus'' meaning "white" and ''gula'' meaning "throat".
