The Varanus griseus griseus subspecies (Grey Monitor) has 5-8 narrow grey bands on the back as well as 19-28 bands on the tail. Its tail is more rounded that those of the other subspecies and the final size of the adults depends on the habitat they are living in. Their coloration can be anywhere from simple grey (in desert-like ecosystems) to brilliantly colored (in areas with large amounts of plant growth). Their most common prey consists of lizards and snakes, but can branch out to include ground-nesting birds and other small mammals.
DISTRIBUTION
Type locality: Dardsha, coast of the Caspian Sea

The possibility of venom in the Varanus genus is widely debated. It was previously thought that venom was unique to Serpentes (snakes) and Heloderma (venomous lizards). It was believed that the aftereffects of a Varanus bite were due to oral bacteria alone, but recent studies have shown that there are most likely venom glands in the mouth of several, if not all of the species. Varanus griseus has not yet been specifically tested, but its bites have shown consistent aftereffects with the venomous bites from other Varanid lizards. The venom can be used as a defensive mechanism to fend off predators, to help digest food, to sustain oral hygiene, and to possibly help in capturing and killing prey.

Tras 1.300 kilómetros de andadura, las límpidas aguas del río Iguazú confluyen con las más oscuras y rojizas del Paraná en un accidente fluvial que la intervención del hombre ha convertido en algo más. En mucho más: el punto exacto que separa tres países. A saber: Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay.
En cada una de las tres fronteras existe un obelisco conmemorativo pintado con los colores de las banderas de cada país. El lugar se ha convertido en un destino turístico tanto por este hecho insólito como porque a sólo 13,8 kilómetros en línea recta se encuentran las Cataratas del Iguazú, consideradas como una de las siete maravillas naturales del mundo.
