Still around the waterhole, I suddenly saw this large Water Monitor on its way through the sticky mud. He took no notice of the crocodiles and just headed his way to the water. Water monitors are very dangerous creatures too. They have very tough jaws and I remember from my childhood, how their tails were used as a dangerous weapon when they felt threatened

Never saw that before,very good camouflage, are his legs so green or is that just because it got wet??? fantastic shot,cathy

@Cathy
The green on his legs are actually from the slimy algae in the mud. Monitors are actually yellow and brown

ooh, look at his tongue! what a lean and powerful looking animal – just like a miniature version of the gigantic komodo dragon! great capture, as always, deryck! cathy is right: with the green muck on his legs and his yellowish brown skin he's perfectly camouflaged among the weeds and grasses of the waterhole bank! greetings, sabine.

He is very well camouflaged - but you have seen it! Only the colour of its tongue gives a little contrast!!!

Have wonderful pentecostdays..

I love wildlife photography...it must be very interesting. I don't like the harsh light here.....I also would like to see a tighter crop

The Monitor has excellent camauflage, but not good enough to hide from you :))

An excellent capture of this monster.



Mark Billiau., 28.05.2012 at 16:26h

Well spotted and excellent captured at exactly the right moment !
