Title – Monitor Lizard
Date – August 1998
Location - Kakadu National Park - Northern Territories - Australia
When you hear a rustle in the grass in the UK you can be excused for not jumping aside as a squirrel pops its head out. But remember, when you travel, the rest of the world has slightly different fauna and flora.
This monitor lizard is a ‘Jurassic Park’ version of the UK’s humble little lizards, but it is not a life threatening killer. Having said that a healthy respect for native fauna is certainly advisable, as if you corner or try and catch one of these monitors, their claws and jaws will certainly leave you with scars for life.
The Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop run by Beyond The Blue helps prepare candidates for their travel to unfamiliar parts of the world, we can’t teach you to fight a monitor lizard, but we can train you to avoid conflict in all its shapes and forms.
