Nile Monitor Lizard (Varanus niloticus) - 14 July 2013. Grumeti River Crossing, Serengeti National
Park, Mara Region, Tanzania.
These long-tailed lizards were uncommon along the Grumeti River. They appeared to walk on land more easily and with more agility than the larger Nile Crocodile. Monitor Lizards are in the Varanidae family. A Three-banded Plover (Charadrius tricollaris tricollaris) is in front. Nikon P510 Coolpix Point-and-shoot |
