Zug’s Monitor (Varanus zugorum)
Last Seen: 1980 in Indonesia
Years Lost: 37

The Zug’s monitor, also known as the silver monitor, is a rare species of lizard. Moore said, “I have spoken with an expert who spent five months looking for this on the island of Halmuhera (the largest of the Maluku Islands), where it is believed to exist. He said that not even local hunters reported seeing this monitor, adding to the mystery of whether it exists, and where.”
