Earless monitor lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis) from Sarawak

After 10 years of searching, I finally met earless monitor lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis) in a stream of my homeland.

The earless monitor lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis) gave me a "love bite" when I want to put it on the rock for photography. I was shocked that it is rolling the body, same behavior like crocodile's death roll while biting me. Luckily I wore a hand glove, else my finger skin is ripped off.
