The Afrotropical Varanus niloticus is subdivided in two distinct subspecies which are morphologically easily recognizable from each other. Boehme & Ziegler (1997) concluded that these two forms have markedly surpassed the subspecific level and have to be treated as distinct species, the one typical of savannas (V. niloticus ) and the other of rainforest biota (V. ornatus). These authors also reported on the sympatric occurrence (without hybridization and intergradation) of both the forms in the Niger Delta (southeastern Nigeria), which is a further demonstration of the specific status of these taxa. We studied the ecology of monitor lizards in southeastern Nigeria between September 1996 and July 1998. Including both free-living and dead spe...
