The ecology, distribution, status, threats, and conservation of the Common Water Monitor (Varanus salvator) in the Dhaleswari River of Assam, India 1,*Muhammed Khairujjaman Mazumder, 2Amir Sohail Choudhury, 2Rofk Ahmed Barbhuiya, 3Himabrata Chakravarty, and 4Badruzzaman Barbhuiya 1Department of Zoology, Dhemaji College, Dhemaji, 787057, Assam, INDIA 2Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, Assam University, Silchar 788011, Assam, INDIA 3Department of Zoology, Srikishan Sarda College, Hailakandi 788151, Assam, INDIA 4District Level Laboratory, Public Health Engineering Department, Hailakandi 788155, Assam, INDIA Abstract.—The Common Water Monitor, Varanus salvator (Laurenti, 1768), is a large monitor lizard distributed in southern and south-east Asia, including India which remains closely associated with water bodies, such as rivers and lakes. Although IUCN considers it to be ‘Least Concern,’ the Common Monitor Lizard faces several threats throughout its global distribution range, and the status of the species is decreasing rapidly. The Dhaleswari River of Assam (India) is one of the most important abodes of this species, where it is locally known by the names ‘Irong’ and ‘Shanda.’ Geographically, the Dhaleswari River is located in southern Assam (India), which falls within the Indo-Burma Biodiversity hotspot area. Unfortunately, most of the wildlife of southern Assam (India) are poorly studied, and this varanid is one of the most ignored species of the region. The present study was conducted along the Dhaleswari River, Assam, India, to elucidate the distribution, status, ecology, threats, and conservation of the Common Water Monitor, and is the frst report on this species from this river.
