Ausserd (Google, OSM)

Description

This varanus was on the road, we could see it from quite a distance given its size (ca. 50 cm) and creamy colour against the black tarmac.
It ran ooff one side of the road and we got closer. Poor guy - never seen one so skinny...
But it was still very fast, and soon it disappeared under bushes.

Time ca. 10.30, T29°C
