Saniwa is an extinct genus of varanid lizard that lived about 48 million years ago during the Eocene epoch. It is known from well-preserved fossils found in the Bridger and Green River Formations of Wyoming. The type species S. ensidens was described in 1870 as the first fossil lizard known from North America. Several other species have since been added, but their validity is uncertain. It is a close relative of Varanus, the genus that includes monitor lizards.

  • Il saniwa (gen. Saniwa) è un rettile fossile, vissuto principalmente durante l'Eocene (tra 50 e 40 milioni di anni fa). Esemplari di saniwa, però, sono noti anche nel Paleocene e nell'Oligocene. Si pensa sia strettamente imparentato con i varani. (it)
  • Saniwa — викопний рід ящірок родини Варанові (Varanidae), що існував в еоцені (48 млн років тому) в Північній Америці і, можливо, в Європі. Добре збережені скам'янілі рештки ящірки були знайдені в формаціях Бріджер і штату Вайомінг. Рід вважається найближчим відомим родичем сучасного роду Варан (Varanus). (uk)
