FERRY SAVES SAVANNA MONITOR

Category: C. LIZARDS | Date: Nov 27 2007 | By: admin

Early this morning Ferry was called to a village in Kanani about 5km north of Bio-Ken. The local people there had cornered a Savanna Monitor Lizard Varanus albigularis in their chicken pen raiding eggs. Fortunately the Monitor was not hurt by anyone and so Ferry caught it and returned it to the Snake Farm where these pics were taken. The Lizard will be released near the Arabouko-Sokoke forest about 7km West of the Snake Farm this afternoon.

Good job Ferry. I’m sure the lizard is very happy to be returned to the forrest. He is a beauty!

I have to admit that snakes and lizards are NOT my favorite. The “smile” on this lizard’s face makes me re-think this . . . .
