Trash or Treasure? This Asian Water Monitor knows how to make the most of a rubbish dump feast in Sri Lanka! 🦎🗑️
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the resourcefulness and adaptability of an adult Kabaragoya, also known as an Asian Water Monitor. Against the backdrop of a tropical island, this reptile showcases its unique feeding habits by scavenging on a pile of waste in December. With its sleek scales glistening under the warm sun, our scaly friend fearlessly navigates through the trash heap like it's a gourmet buffet. As nature's very own garbage disposal unit, this monitor lizard effortlessly forages for food amidst discarded items and leftovers. While some may see only chaos and mess in this scene, our Kabaragoya sees opportunity and sustenance. With every bite it takes from this unconventional meal, it reminds us that one creature's trash can indeed be another creature's treasure! This incredible snapshot captured by FLPA/Neil Bowman invites us to appreciate the resilience and adaptability of wildlife even in unexpected environments. So next time you encounter your own "rubbish dump" remember that there might just be hidden treasures waiting to be discovered - just like our adventurous Asian Water Monitor!
