Monitor lizard caught

 

A monitor lizard was caught from Kechery on Monday. Wild animals' protector Xavier Elthuruth caught the giant lizard from the house of VS Unni. Xavier reached there after he was informed about the lizard.

Xavier says, "The monitor lizard is of 1.5-metre long. It is calm and not poisonous. But it attacks with the tail and nails. The injuries due to its nails can cause rabies. Its tongue is similar to that of snakes in two layers. Its skin is thick and it can travel during day only. The lizard eats all kinds of food, including small birds. The lizard will be handed over to Ponganamkadu forest range deputy officer TC Devassy."

In India, monitor lizards are found mainly in Orissa, West Bengal and Andaman Nicobar Islands.
