Sunbathing in Style - Merten's Water Monitor Takes a Break from Shedding!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Don Hadden, we witness the ultimate relaxation session of a Merten's Water Monitor at Galvan's Gorge, Kimberley. This reptilian beauty seems to have found the perfect spot on the track adjacent to the stream for some well-deserved sunbathing. With its scales glistening under the warm Australian sun, this monitor lizard is not only enjoying a leisurely moment but also undergoing an incredible transformation. As it sloughs off its old skin, our scaly friend showcases nature's fascinating process of renewal and growth. Known for their love of temperature control, these monitors are masters of finding just the right balance between soaking up rays and cooling down in water. And boy, do they know how to strike a pose! With its sleek body stretched out elegantly on that picturesque track, it's hard not to envy this reptile's sense of style. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take inspiration from our sun-loving friend here. Find your own little patch of sunshine and bask in its warmth like a true Merten's Water Monitor – shedding worries away and embracing life with all your scales intact!
