What is a Goanna
Early white settlers saw these creatures and thought they were a type of
“Iguana” (which is the Guyana Indian name for Lizard) and over the years this

Lizards” of which Australia has 20 of the 30 species found worldwide. One of the
most common Goannas in Australia is the SAND MONITOR
