Let’s explore some of these potentially dangerous lizards you most certainly haven’t heard of. 10 Tree Crocodile The tree crocodile is one of the largest lizards on the planet, mainly on the length side with some averaging a staggering 8 feet. For perspective, that’s just 2 feet shorter than the popular komodo dragon, the largest lizard species. Endemic to New Guinea, the tree crocodile is a coastal dweller and spends most of its time high up on trees. Its diet is thus made up of mostly birds and eggs although it all also goes after small mammals and wouldn’t hesitate to dig in on carrion. To increase the chances of successful hunts, the teeth of the tree crocodile are adapted to hooking into fast-moving prey like bats, rodents, and birds which is quite different from other monitor lizards. While they aren’t venomous, these monitor lizards are aggressive and unpredictable which can be a bit of a problem given their size. It’s not so hard to pick up on the aggression, though. If you see a tree crocodile with its tail rolled up behind it then you better get out of there as you can. The biggest issue with getting bitten by these giant lizards is the risk of infection which might lead to death in the worst-case scenario. Thankfully, though, any tree crocodile will do its best to avoid human contact. 9 Guatemalan Beaded Lizard Endemic to southeastern Guatemala, this lizard is one of the most endangered species with some reports placing the number at just under 200. There are a few reasons for this but – of course – habitat destruction by people is by far the main cause. And the fact that the lizard’s range is limited hasn’t made the situation any better. Other possible causes for the Guatemalan beaded lizard’s decline in population include hunting, the pet business, and climate change. Conservation efforts by the Guatemalan government are ongoing, though, so it’ll be interesting to see how the lizard’s population fairs in the near future. This beaded lizard is a notorious nest hunter – feeding mostly on eggs and younglings of other reptiles, mammals, and birds. But food isn’t the only thing that it gets from other species. Burrowing mammals and the Guatemalan spiny-tailed iguanas provide underground shelters that are essential in shielding the Guatemalan beaded lizard from extreme heat seeing as it leaves in some of the driest parts. The lizard itself is venomous and its bite, although rare, can lead to vomiting, low blood pressure, excessive sweating, and dizziness. 8 Gila Monster The Gila monster is the largest lizard species native to the United States weighing slightly over five pounds and growing to lengths of up to two feet. Named after the Gila River Basin in Arizona where they were first discovered, the lizard’s natural range cuts across Chihuahuan, Mojave, and Sonoran Deserts although the populations are on a steep decline due to human encroachment. Gilas are known for their showy skin that features a black background dotted with orange, pink, or yellow spots. Like the Guatemalan beaded lizards, they also love robbing nests for both eggs and newborn animals. But they don’t have to do this often as they can go for months without a meal, utilizing the fat stored in their tails for survival. This serves the lizards pretty well as they spend a majority of their time in burrows sleeping. When a Gila monster is out there hunting, it depends on its teeth and a mild neurotoxin. It doesn’t bite but instead chews on its victim to create an open wound that’s immediately infected by the venom. In humans, this venom might lead to a rapid drop in blood pressure, swelling, excruciating pain, and general body weakness. These are generally non-threatening but being drunk or failing to treat the bite properly could lead to a fatality. 7 Bengal Monitor Bengal monitors are also on the lower side compared to the other lizards in this video as there have been specimens as small as 2 feet long. Generally, though, a good deal of them average just below 6 feet, making this species one of the largest in the world. Unlike most of the monitor lizards, the Bengal monitor will eat just about everything it can find with the diet changing constantly depending on the season and locality. But if food isn’t so forthcoming, it has fat deposits just like the Gila monster that can provide just enough energy to keep it going for some time.
