peacock monitor : ウィキペディア英語版 | peacock monitor
The peacock monitor (''Varanus auffenbergi''), also known as Auffenberg's monitor, is a species of small monitor lizard native to the island of Roti, Indonesia.〔 (Retrieved Feb. 10, 2010.)〕 It belongs to the subgenus ''Odatria''.〔 ==Etymology== The generic name ''Varanus'' is derived from the Arabic word ''waral'' ورل, (alternative spelling ''waran''= "lizard"). The name comes from a common semitic root ''ouran'', ''waran'', or ''waral'', meaning "lizard". The occasional habit of varanids to stand on their two hind legs and to appear to "monitor" their surroundings may have led to this name, as it was Latinized into ''Varanus''. Its specific name ''auffenbergi'' honors US herpetologist Walter Auffenberg.
