King's Monitors (Varanus kingorum) are native to the tropical savannah woodlands of northern Australia, particularly in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. They inhabit a variety of environments ranging from open woodlands to rocky outcrops and riparian areas near water sources. Their habitat typically includes a mix of vegetation, rocks, and fallen logs, providing them with ample hiding places and basking spots.

In these habitats, King's Monitors are often found basking in the sun on rocks or fallen logs to regulate their body temperature. They are agile climbers and can often be seen exploring elevated perches or navigating through rocky terrain. Their environment is characterized by a seasonal climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, influencing their activity patterns and breeding behaviors. Overall, their natural habitat is diverse and dynamic, allowing them to exhibit a range of behaviors essential for their survival in the wild.
