Green Tree Monitor (Varanus Prasinus)
The emerald tree monitor (Varanus prasinus), or the green tree monitor, is a small to medium-sized arboreal monitor lizard. It is known for its unusual colouration, which consists of shades from green to turquoise, topped with dark, transverse dorsal banding. This colouration helps camouflage it in its arboreal habitat. Its colour also makes the emerald tree monitor highly coveted by private collectors and zoos alike.
