Field Notes

Description:

A Water Monitor Lizard at Lumpini Public Park in Bangkok. This one was about 5-6 feet long. You do not have to look very hard to spot these magnificent creatures, there are many around the lakes in the park.

Notes:

In Thailand, all monitor lizards are protected species.
