I don’t want you to freak out, but this photo was taken in the picnic area of one of our local beaches. They do also wander into backyards. But seriously if you don’t bother them they don’t bother you. It’s a monitor lizard (goanna) there’s lots and lots of different types I’m not sure which version this one is…and they’ve got to be really really cranky to start breathing fire. LOL.
Glorious photo!!!
“What the…. Is that a komodo dragon???” said my 6 year old when I showed this to him. *Please* tell me this is in a zoo, not in your backyard!! 🙂

He also is now wondering whether this guy can breathe out fire or ice…
If it wasn’t for the tongue it would be quite cute!
