Why it's awesome: Earless monitor lizards are dragon-like reptiles that are so rare they're dubbed the "Holy Grail" of herpetology — the study of reptiles and amphibians.

According to the FWC’s website, it’s the rock monitor’s relative, the Nile monitor lizard, that’s illegal to have as a pet, and is an invasive species.

The lizard rescued from the side of the freeway was reunited with his owner, the Phoenix Herpetological Society, who conducted the rescue, said Thursday.

After a large monitor lizard was recently liberated from the side of Loop 101, people are wondering what monitors are and whether they belong.

When a pet water monitor got loose from its home in Webster, it put reptiles in the spotlight once more, along with a mission to sort fact from fiction.
