Merton’s Water Dragon Varanus mertoni making sure I don’t get any closer. Howard Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. Check out the keel on this guy’s tail. He is a swimmer (unless he is a she, I am not sure!). These guys grow to 1 metre long, and this one was pretty close to that. These monitors eat fish and frogs (hence the laterally compressed tail) and are found across the top end of Australia. Featured in the group Reptiles and Amphibians Featured in the group Australian Wildlife on the 10th of October, 2008
