They are invasive because the people that got them think the babies are so cute then that 1 foot monitor thats so cute got to 7 feet the people get scared of it let it go. Im only thirteen and i walk up to them and pick them up i haven't been bit none of them tried to bite and monitors are mean but i have not been bit or haven't had one try. but i have caught 12 in canals in palm beach county. don't try and pick them up if you live in fl i mean i haven't got bit because animals trust me but if they do bite it would tear you up.
P.S if you encounter one dont call Florida Fish and Wildlife they might say their gonna find a home for it they just kill it so dont call them

The scientific name for the Nile Monitor is Varanus niloticus.

no because they will fight..
The Nile Perch is one of the Invasive species located in Lake Victoria, Africa. It was introduced as a sporting fish, but it soon became one of the 100 Worst Invasive Species by the IUCN's (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Invasive Species Specialist Group. Other invasive species include the Nile Tilapia and the Water Hyacinth, which is a water-type weed.
The monitor is strong but a mongoose is so fast. A Nile Monitor could beat most of the mongoose subspecies but the White Tailed Mongoose would beat even a Nile Monitor.

no, not like someother species of lizards the nile monitor lizards tail doesn't grow back.
