michali Posted May 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) M8 & 135mm Apo-Telyt African Water Monitor Lizard- these are among the largest lizards in Africa growing up to 2 meters in length, they eat live prey and are exceptionally good swimmers. I found this guy late one afternoon sunning himself in an Acacia tree on the river bank. Thanks for viewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted May 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2009 Mike - In spite of their size they are very shy, so I'm even more impressed with this shot. Super for subject, framing, light, color and detail. I suppose he felt a bit secure with all those long thorns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
