Monitor Lizard

A healthy ecosystem would be teeming with life of all sorts and forms, so there is nothing to be spooked about occasional monitor lizards; it's actually an affirmation that our locale supports a fairly good cross-section of local flora and fauna.

Besides, the bayáwak is actually a shy animal that pretty much keeps to itself, and all the more it will not purposely come up to humans. So any fear of bayawak attack is virtually baseless. But just like any animal that we provoke, it will naturally defend itself.
