Stunning photos of monitor lizards
This place should be taken by a photo that captivates by an exciting random observation, and depicts a monitor species in its habitat displaying intra- or interspecific behaviour. This opportunity should also encourage people to document species in all their diversity in their native habitat and give everyone the chance to share their favourite photo here.
