Monitor lizards may be a common sight for those living near the rivers of Brunei (as I am), but to see one as big as this was definitely a rare
occurrence. It probably measured 5 feet or more in length from head to tail -not that I had time to take out a tape measurer and ask it to stay still while I measure it- and I could see that it was very old going by the flabs and wrinkles on its skin as well as multiple scars from old injuries on several parts of its body.
About the photo:
Taken some months ago with my previous camera, it was very hard to approach the lizard without spooking it. This was the best shot I could manage out of several I took before it decided it had enough of a photoshoot session and went back into the river.
