Two photographs of the same monitor lizard of Taman Gelora, Kuantan (Malaysia) taken on the same morning, yesterday. Taman Gelora is a popular recreation ground of the local folks, and over the whole day especially at weekends folks are there doing recreation, exercise, jogging or just lazily walking.
There are a couple of small lakes in that ground, and I have observed (when walking there in the morning) monitor lizards of various sizes swimming in those lakes looking for food, fish especially. The lakes are rich with tropical fish.
This morning I was lucky to take these photoes of the same monitor lizard swimming and looking for food. Usually either it does not come out or I have no camera with me. I think that this lizard is the biggest of them all, it must be about 5 feet in length (exaggerating a bit). To the best of my knowledge, it does not attack human unless cornered, it only searches for fish and small animals or small birds for food.
And anyone wanting to write about Kuantan (Pahang, Malaysia) may volunteer to join this blog by providing e-mail address (for approval) for inclusion into "Permission". (Inappropriate article published will be deleted).
