Kindly meet the “Perentie” ( Varanus giganteus ) monitor lizard, the fourth-largest lizard in the world. This magnificent beast may also be called a “Goanna”, I believe.

And a head-facing shot: (just look at that tongue!)

Interestingly, while these blokies seem to usually inhabit arid desert regions, this one sauntered over to the beach that day, evidently to look for turtle hatchlings or carcasses, and to enjoy a little dip.

I’m not 100% on this, but it seems the location was “Ningaloo” in the Cape Range National Park in Exmouth, Western Australia, with photos by Craig Kitson.
