A Monitor Lizard Went Swiming One Day






This is why I love the outdoors. The second swimming monitor lizard in a month!

This monitor lizard was more than a metre long, and was cooling off in the Botanic Gardens pond at about 3pm in the afternoon. The monitor lizard ignored the koi and had a leisurely swim around the pool a few times before making its way up the rocks and disappearing into the bushes.

We saw another monitor lizard in the water at MacRitchie reservoir at 12 noon, a few weeks back. It was foraging for food near the reservoir bank during low tide.
