a photographic study of monitor lizards in Singapore 2023
Two types of lizards in the photos, one being the Malayan water monitor, which as the name suggests is active in water bodies such as reservoirs and canals.
While the clouded monitor is more land based often found in forests or parks scavenging in dense vegetation and undergrowth. Both are shy and wary of human presence.
A juvenile Malayan water monitor is seen resting in a tree, an uncommon sight considering I’ve never seen one climb up a tree.
Shot with the Olympus Omd Em1 mark1.

A waterhen explores the forest/ park amongst the tall grass and dense vegetation, curious little fellow was looking my way as I sat absolutely still. It was walking in my direction when something caught its attention and darted off into an undergrowth.

A juvenile Malayan water monitor resting in a tree, on a late autumn afternoon. Never seen this species climb up trees before, a strange sight and one that caught my attention purely by luck.
