Top 4 most lethal monitors

[Whiptooth]

I was reading about keeping captive Perenties today and I learned that a Perentie is a very lethal lizard despite there being larger monitors than it like the heavy asian water monitor and long Artellia, so my question is how does the Perentie compare to other large monitors in fire power, what are the top 4 most lethal monitor lizards?

Lethal to what? I personally i would say croc monitors are the most dangerous. Then again i would take perentie bite over a black throat bite(i almost lost a finger to one).

Im not quite sure what you are trying to ask with lethal and fire power but,
I wouldnt think the perentie is anymore dangerous to its keeper/ human then any other species of giant monitor lizard.
Taking a bit from any monitor lizard that is 8' long and weighs 50 lbs, would not be fun.

Perenties are one of the least likely to bite anyways. Unless you are a small child or out in a very remote location none are lethal. But do remember accidents happen as in Steve Irwin's case.

In the wild, the only monitor that will actively approach and possibly attack you would be the Komodo Dragon. Most other monitors are very wary around people, except for ones in parks that are accustomed to handouts.

varanous paonoptes horni is a very agressive species.

Varanus griseus is another one known for being ill-tempered.

Are we talking about in the wild or in captivity? Most monitors will simply run away in the wild, but when trapped in a cage hold their ground and are labeled as aggressive..
