Rock Monitor

An unusual sighting of a Rock Monitor. This chap was almost 1 meter long. He slowly retreated into his burrow whilst we watched him.

In Connecticut, on occasion, we will see our neighbors dog.

Oh my....I'm glad I have nothing like this to watch for. Is he "harmless".....or does he eat small children and cats?

[Brian Baptie]

You have some amazing wildlife around your way!!

[Amy Spada]

Wow...

[Karen H]

Are they as ferocious as the other monitor lizards?

[Sharon]

That's one big lizard. Good timing and Fantastic capture.

[Bobbyj]

such a huge monitor!

[Sally Ings]

@tigerdreamer Not sure, he certainly appeared to be ready to attack if needs be. He had quite a magnificent forked tongue that was two tone but unfortunately I didn't manage to capture it!

[Livia]

Whoa, he looks big and impressive! Awesome shot!

[Sue Wilde]

Fabulous shot. Love him

[Peter de Graaff]

Fabulous lizard. Bet he is a good snake hunter

[Chris]

Looks like a fighter - gorgeous animal.

@nilsandcindy As far as I know they are carnivorous but what exactly they eat I have no idea!
