Abstract
Characteristic patterns of burrows of Monitor Lizards were studied in semi-arid region of Agra. It was observed that the size of burrows in the three study sites was almost similar. The burrows were studied in various microhabitats, viz., elevated land small mounds, termite nets, wall crevices, drains and gutters and hollow tree trunks. The concentration of burrows was more in Acacia-Saccharum junctions where the Monitors can find prey as well as hide from predators.
