The monitor lizard scaling up the tree

by Benjamin Caban

The story behind this photo is that i had almost finished this hike with my girlfriend and i was a bit disappointed that i was unable to capture any wildlife shots until we were nearly at the car when my girl yells out look a lizard first thing i thought it was a really small one but once i got closer i could see how massive it was and it was amazing never seen one before in the wild .
