A couple of Nile Monitors (Varanus niloticus)contemplating a swim on a hot Hawaii afternoon.They are excellent swimmers.
Africa's largest lizards, they can grown as big as 2 metres. They are voracious predators with sharp teeth and claws and their tails are powerful weapons as well. . They will gang up together to steal eggs, even from crocodiles. Not to be messed with !

The late great Steve Irwin profiled these guys once in awhile. Nice lighting and presentation.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
Sounds like a smaller version of the Komodo Varan ! Not a pet to have in the hose! Good shot Lyn.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
' 2 metres'...wow, that's quite a size to go along with their voracious attitude...I'm glad you took this from above...nevertheless, a good capture where we can see their form and details of their skin.

Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart. (Victor Hugo)
Impressive critters. Some (or possibly, all) monitors have a poison they inject when they bite, and some have been known to take down much larger animals by waiting for days after a bite until the poison drops the prey.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
The light, my goodness, it is perfect, what an intriguing capture, excellent work ... was just waiting for a great photographer to pass by and snap this photo.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Lyn, I thought initially that they were 'adorable critters', but after reading your narrative, I've some doubts now, ☺ ☺ ☺ !
