We are quite curious. In Bangkok atm, we walked to Chinatown and stopped to have lunch by a rather filthy canal. Idly watching the rubbish floating by, we noticed a BIG lizard in the water. Then it climbed out onto the stairs and people started throwing food at it and laughing at our excited chatter and attempts to film/take picture of it.
Before long, there was another one, and another one, and we counted five really BIG lizards just in that little section of the canal we were sitting by. They must feed on food scraps, because I don't think any fish can survive in that water. Anyone know what it is?

It's a Malayan Water Monitor Lizard (Varanus salvator)
Tim said it was a monitor... but obviously I couldn't just take his word for it :)
