I just gave my child her breakfast 🥰 A grasshopper hopped onto my boob, I plucked it off, and offered it to Liora and she immediately went for it!

Some (myself included) believe that Mušḫuššu, the side-kick of the Sumerian/Babylonian god Marduk, was inspired by a monitor. Mušḫuššu was sometimes described as a beautiful serpent - but serpent wasn't exclusively legless snakes. +

It's highly likely that a now-extinct relative of the Nile Water Monitor once lived in the now-drained marsh where the Tigris and Euphrates met. Reports of such a monitor exist all the way up through the 1980s although no zoological specimen exists. Habitat was right though.
