Interestingly, since you mentioned that they have the "beginnings of a marine living monitor lizard", the giant Mosasaurus is considered to belong to a sister clade to monitor lizards. There is a bit of debate about whether they are actually closer to monitor lizards or snakes however they still likely all shared a common ancestor. So if these little guys were given a few million years they could return to the ocean as giants.

My wife sent me to out to get a baby monitor. I don't know why she was so upset when I brought one back.
It probably wasn't as colourful as she wanted.😄
Hmmm, so these are the ancestors of future Mosasaurs.
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And the mangrove, (in which these monitors live), deal with the excess salt in their systems by excreting it through their leaves. 😎 Great video mate.
