Monitoring

I was hiking (with Dave, Ken, and two guards) to a site we suspect has archeological significance (more later on that) and we saw a large lizard monitoring our approach. It ducked into a cave several feet tall, and we could only see the tip of it's tail.

 

We finished our hike and circled back around. He (based on size, didn't get close enough to lift the skirt) darted back in the cave, but we managed to get a couple shots of him.

 

He's probably a Bengal Monitor, based on the region. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varanus_bengalensis
