英文摘要Field observations testify that Varanus griseus is able to memorize the place of a single event, and to purposefully return to that place after weeks or months not following the same route used just before the event. It is also able to localize its place being deprived of information of the route that led it to the place, obviously being capable of plotting the shortest way from any place of its home range to another place located far beyond the limits of its direct sensory perception. Functional blocks of a monitor's home range can be spaced at a distance of up to 10 km. Transitions between blocks are performed every time using a new or partly new route, the distance between the routes amounting to up to 2 km. Navigation is apparently based on a system of visual landmarks. Our observations agree well with the hypothesis that suggests the existence in the Desert Monitor of an allocentric mosaic mental map, with path integration probably serving as one of the tools of mapping rather than a tool of navigation.
