This Water Monitor Lizard was enjoying the sun at Thanda’s largest waterhole. These intelligent reptiles are very shy and usually disappear quickly into water or high grass as soon as one approaches.
This specimen had a “trusting day” and stuck around for a lengthily photo session 🙂

YEAH. reminds me of the lizards in the river outside my apartment
Intelligent in what way??? Hard to tell how big he is. I am always searching out Iguana in the Florida Keys. They blend in so well that it is sort of a challenge. Nice photo!
