I was at a "kampung air" in Semporna recently when I saw this creature - a monitor lizard or "biawak" lazying away in the afternoon sun oblivious to my presence.
Have to admit though this is my first time ever to come across a very fat "biawak" indeed. Wonder what happened to its tail though. It's a bit short. Must have lost it in a previous do-or-die battle.
Looking at the rubbish surrounding it - no wonder it is very fat. Food is abundance in the form of rubbish being dumped everyday into the sea.
