Taken at Pilanesburg Nature Reserve next to Sun City in South Africa.Southern Africas largest Lizard. Bodies grow to almost a meter and the tails 1 & 1/2 times that so they can easily reach 2- 2 1/2 meters . They dig burrows and lay 40-60 soft shelled eggs. after about nine to 10 months the hatchlings dig themselves free. Carnivor they eat a large variety of prey like Crocodile Eggs and Terrapin eggs. Often found basking on a perch or branch above or around open water (thats where I happened to this guy)
