Swimming Monitor - 07:04 pm
12 Jan 2010
The Xakanaxa pride has moved further west, still following the buffalo.
The day was spent searching for leopards. It was uneventful with not even a single spoor being spotted.
Crossing off Dead Tree Island, there was a Water Monitor hunting in the newly formed stream.
This channel was completely dry only a couple of weeks ago and was now attracting many species of animals and birds.
The monitor moved slowly through the water, barely creating any ripples. It was constantly tasting the water with its tongue, trying to locate potential prey.
A monitor will eat just about anything from frogs and birds to snakes and invertebrates.
It was a brief sighting and the monitor moved off into the thicker reeds.
