I heard some rustling sounds on a walk through the Singapore Botanical Garden mid afternoon.
I was surprised to find this monitor lizard searching for food around the base of a tree.
On closer look, I can see it is still moulting. I quickly took a shot before it slithered away.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Travel Tuesday
Named after two battleships in the American Civil War, these
ironclad warships met in the Battle of the Hamptons in March 1862, the first battle involving ironclad ships.
The battle had immediate effects on navies around the world. The preeminent naval powers, Great Britain and France, halted further construction of wooden-hulled ships. Although Britain and France had been engaged in an iron-clad arms race since the 1830s, the Battle of Hampton Roads signaled a new age of naval warfare for the whole world. A new type of ironclad warship was produced on the principles of the original Monitor. The use of a small number of very heavy guns, mounted so that they could fire in all directions, was first demonstrated by Monitor and soon became standard in warships of all types.
The two formations in this image mark the beginning of the high plateau leading to Canyonlands National Park.
Hope you have a great week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your support -- I greatly appreciate it. We have one more day in Moab before heading home thru Yosemite,

Der Kapwaran bewohnt Süd- und Ostafrika. Er bewohnt vor allem trockene Steppen und Savannen. Der Waran ist ein aktiver Beutegreifer, der züngelnd nach Nahrung sucht.
The rock monitor is a species of monitor lizard in the family Varanidae. The species is endemic to Central, East, and southern Africa. It is the second-longest lizard found on the continent, and the heaviest-bodied.
We in Singapore is facing another drought and hit by haze from forest fires in Indonesia. Water level in this lake has subsided exposing the bottom surface. This huge monitor lizard is on the hunt for food. He just ate the left overs of fish from a gang of Otters - see below.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a Beautiful Sunday.

The 'Sand Motor' is a unique experiment. An artificial peninsula of sand should automatically maintain the beaches up north. The idea is that the Gulf Stream moves the sand up north, a slow process that is carefully monitored by this pole. Notice the tiny figure underneath.

These huge water monitor lizards can grow up to a length of 3 meters and are perfect swimmers. This one was swimming in swan lake of the Botanic Gardens in Singapore.
I've always found Northern Mocking birds at Lake Artemesia. This one might be a juvenile. They seem very protective of their territory and like perch and talk to you. This one seems to be keeping an eye on me.

California State Route 89 southeast of Lake Tahoe. We used this route to get to US 395 along the eastern Sierra. This photo is part of a series of photos taken during a recent trip to the Eastern Sierra.

Varanus glauerti grows up to 80 cm (31 in) long, and three-quarters of its length is the long tail.
This species consumes very little vertebrate prey, eating primarily invertebrates, especially millipedes, beetles, molluscs and orthopterans. Millipedes for example form nearly a quarter of their diet; the monitors are apparently resistant to its poisonous secretions.

Came across this fella when out looking for spiders. A bit bigger than my usual photographic subjects nowadays( 3 to 5 mm), he was over a meter in length and seemed to have just shed his old skin as his colours were brilliant.
Minutes later he had shot up a nearby tree.
(Varanus Mertensi) Monitor lizards (from the Latin monere ‘to warn’) are so-called because of the way they raise their heads and upper body in an apparently watchful pose. As you see in the photo, the lizard does appear to be keeping a lookout. Mertens’ water monitors are found in coastal and inland waters across far northern Australia, from Broome to the western side of Cape York peninsula. They’re always near water, where they bask on rocks or overhanging branches, or amongst aquatic plants.
These lizards actually dig burrows at the water’s edge, where they shelter at night.

An experiment to try and calibrate my monitor, Flickr has weird tendencies to alter my photos after uploading.
