Sago monitor Sago monitor The sago monitor or torch monitor, Varanus obor, is a species of monitor lizards endemic to the Indonesian island of Sanana. "Varanus obor" is the only melanistic member of the Pacific monitor ("V. indicus") group, and the only species belonging to the subgenus "Euprepiosaurus", which has prominent red-orange markings on its body. Proportions of the body and the construction of scales most closely resemble "V. melinus", which can be found on the islands of Mangole and Taliabu. Most often, "V. obor" occurs in coastal sago palm swamps - a habitat that is underused by other species of the
Luwu Regency and East Lamasi with a total population of 91,885 in 2010. The most known culinary in Luwu is "kepurung" ("kapurung", "pugalu", "bugalu", "kapeda") which is made from sago plant ("Metroxylon sagu"). There is "dange" which is made from sago too. The other culinary is "pacco" and "bagea". Luwu is known as a fruit producer, such as durian, "langsat" ("Lansium parasiticum"), rambutan, and many others. Luwu is the origin of the longest epic in the world, La Galigo that created before Mahabharata. Some manuscript of I La Galigo is saved in European Museums, like in Leiden University Library.
