Monitor lizards are not direct relatives of dinosaurs, but they share a common ancestor. Both monitor lizards and dinosaurs belong to the clade Archosauria, which also includes birds and crocodilians. While dinosaurs are an extinct group of reptiles, monitor lizards are part of a different lineage within the broader reptilian family. Thus, they are distant relatives in the evolutionary tree but not direct descendants.
