What The Lizard

If you're wondering what in the world a lizard-like creature is doing anywhere near my camera, that's because my sister found it wandering around the house a few days ago, and scream she did! Eventually my dad caught it, put it in the container, and so there it lies, awaiting its fate, and wishing every moment that it had been so wise as to listen to its mother's wise advice, but alas, it was too late. My dad said that it's a monitor lizard, but aren't those really huge things? This one looks like a baby crocodile or something. In case you're wondering what happened to it, NO we are not keeping it; my dad threw it out into the "wild" (which translates to: a different part of the neighbourhood to frighten our neighbours), and that creature should learn its lesson by now, to never wander into foreign territory. You know, people in some places actually catch these lizards for food! They include, for example, the Ibans. But this time, the lizard was lucky not to have become our dinner.
