The crocodile monitor is a large, arboreal monitor lizard native to New Guinea, best known for its exceptionally long tail, powerful climbing ability, and alert, intelligent behavior. It’s one of the longest lizards in the world by total length, and in the wild it spends much of its time in forest canopies hunting birds, small mammals, and other prey. Its skull reflects that lifestyle: an elongated face and many sharp teeth suited for gripping and slicing.

The skull is created using a 3D scan of a specimen skull. This replica is made from durable resin and is hand-painted to ensure every ridge, opening, and tooth detail is accurate and lifelike, with a finish that looks great on the shelf and stands up well to handling in classrooms or demos.

Whether you’re a collector, educator, museum interpreter, or just fascinated by giant reptiles, this crocodile monitor skull replica works beautifully as a display centerpiece, a comparative anatomy teaching aid (lizards vs. snakes vs. crocodilians), a herpetology collection highlight, or a prop/reference piece for artists and paleo/creature designers.
