Monitor Lizard on the bank of the Mara River. We were surrounded by thousands of Wildebeest as they milled around trying to build up enough courage to begin the hazardous crossing of the Mara River in the northern Serengeti. As we waited a Monitor Lizard emerged from the undergrowth and walked alongside us affording us excellent views. It was testing its environment by constantly flicking its forked, blue/grey tongue. It vanished back into the undergrowth. Quite special to get such good views of a Monitor Lizard on the bank of the Mara River despite all the Wildebeest around us.
