    Action: changed name from "Varanus indicus" to "Varanus niloticus "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "This is definitely not Varanus indicus, I could be mistaken on the exact species, but do know it is not V. indicus, and based on the facial structure believe it to be V. niloticus."

    Action: changed name from "Varanus griseus" to "Varanus ornatus "
