The rock monitor (Varanus albigularis), also called the legavaan or white-throated monitor, is a species of monitor lizard found in Central, East and southern Africa. It is the second-longest lizard found on the continent, and the heaviest bodied. First described by François Marie Daudin in 1802, these lizards were previously classified as a subspecies of Varanus exanthematicus, but have since been declared a distinct species based upon differences in hemipenal morphology. Order: Squamata, Suborder: Scleroglossa, Family: Varanidae.
