Watch out, tongue-tastic explorer on the loose! Palawan Monitor Lizard takes food hunting to a whole new level!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant photo captures the incredible moment when our scaly friend from Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park decided to show off its impressive olfactory skills. With its tongue elegantly stretched out, this lizard is on a mission to find some delicious treats along a public path. Formerly known as a subspecies of Varanus salvator but now recognized as part of the same-name complex of species, this unique creature proves that it stands out from the crowd. Its highly developed sense of smell allows it to navigate through its surroundings with ease and precision. As it explores the lush landscapes of Sabang in Palawan, Philippines, this monitor lizard becomes an ambassador for wildlife enthusiasts everywhere. Its presence reminds us of the diverse reptilian wonders that thrive in our world's national parks. So next time you're strolling along a public path in Asia and catch sight of an extended tongue searching for goodies, remember: you might just have encountered one remarkable member of the lizard family. Hats off (or should we say tongues out?) to Andrey Zvoznikov for capturing this extraordinary moment in nature's own quirky way!
