An Asian water monitor (varanus salvator) swimming across a shallow lake on the island of Langkawi, in Malaysia. This animal was "tasting" the air via its tongue.
The lace monitor or tree goanna is native to eastern Australia. A large lizard, it can reach 2 metres (6.6 ft) in total length and 14 kilograms (31 lb) in weight. Lace Monitors eat insects, mammals, reptiles (including snakes), eggs and nestling birds. They become used to humans and have wandered through some of the campgrounds we have stayed at, where they will forage for food that may be left around.
Despite their size they are adept at climbing trees - this one was disturbed on one of our hikes, staying quite still while we watched, and upon our return an hour later it scuttled up the same tree again.
(Enlarging the photograph will show the leathery textured skin and the very sharp claws.)
Bengal Monitor Lizard (Common Indian Monitor Lizard).
This lizard, which I estimate to be about 3 feet long, blends so well into the coloration of the tree trunk that I had a hard time spotting it even after someone pointed it out to me. I am told that they are hunted in the area for their alleged medicinal properties, and this individual seems to have had a tough life - note the truncated tail.

La scena era per testare un tele 400 di un mio amico, puntando nel mezzo della lampada da scrivania e il top del mio monitor...e' venuta fuori questa foto, simpatica per uno sfondo di scrivania.

These Urban Foxes this year, we monitored as they were born in the estate under a garden shed. But it was a long wait until the parents would take them to the safety of their playground and the surrounding woods. This meant that we didn't get really small cub images.
The targets I had set myself with every visit was to be all low level or very close up images.
I was aiming to capture the way these foxes survey their area. the adventure would gain the trust of the Vixen and Dog, at time would just lay in the background while the foxes came to interact.
I have learnt to just stay and let the wildlife accept you, no need to chase, they will in time slowly but surely give you that small window to capture a moment.
Thank you all for taking the time to view.
Be Nice, Be Kind.
I designed this wonderful note-holder and I look at it whenever I'm frustrated with the work I'm doing. It makes me happy! No matter what else is going on, there's always Buffy, and thank Joss, I mean God, for that :)
The images aren't mine, obviously, they belong to the talented people who make the graphic novels (Buffy season 8). I just played around with them for the fun and love of it.
See it better in the original size.
I also made an Angel one and a Firefly one, coming up...
The Anti-Monitor! One of the most powerful beings of in the multiverse.

I've been reading a lot of Justice League recently, so this is just one of the groups I was inspired to make during reading.
