Biawak Air

Semalam masa melepak di tepi Sungai Klang, nampak lagi biawak berenang-renang menyeberangi sungai. Selalu juga nampak binatang ini sampai kekadang buat tak tahu saja.

Yesterday, while I was at the Klang river bank, saw one monitor lizard swimming across the river. Quite a number of times, i found this lizard that sometimes i just ignore it

Ini kelihatan ia sedang merayau mencari makanan.

This is when it is foraging for food
Usual morning walk

Suatu hari tu terjumpa bangkai babi/anjing terdampar di tebing , mungkin dibawa air pasang. Tak lama menunggu, datanglah seekor biawak memakan bangkai tersebut..

One day, I spotted a pig/dog carcass that landed on the bank, maybe carried by the rising water. Not long, came a monitor lizard and it start eating.

Ini pula gambat potrait. Baru jer naik dari longkang, terjumpa ngan saya...dapat beberapa shot, dia turun balik.. hehe

Here is the potrait shot, It just climb up the drain wall and met me.. got a few shots, and it went back down..hehe
saying hi!

Varanus Salvator

Anak dia comel jer, macam cicak..tapi yang ni dah sekaki setengah agaknya.

Its young are pretty cute, just like common house gecko..but this one already about one and a half feet.

Baby Monitor Lizard

Biawak ni tak makan orang, cuma orang je makan biawak. Kekadang saya duduk diam-diam, dia datang dekat.. kalau dah dekat sangat, saya hentakkan kaki ke tanah.. dia pun lari ler..

This lizard doesnt eat people, just people eat them. Sometimes, when I sit quietly in the bushes, It came near..If it is too close for comfort, I just stomp my feet to the ground and off it went!
