BLACK EAGLE PROJECT FAN PAGE Africam's Resident Water Monitor  One of the most fascinating creatures we find around the water hole at Elephant Plains is the water monitor lizard. His movements, his markings, his claws...almost all of him reminds us of prehistoric times. Like other reptiles, he must sun himself for warmth before he can start his day. He is the only lizard that has the tongue of a snake! Take a look at the water monitor facts and video by clicking here...
