[FiorellaFalconi]

that was a nile monitor... savannahs are wayyy smaller

[hughgavinkicks]

@FiorellaFalconi aye brosky. apparently you're this guys african guide....lol, he changed his video due to you're comment...what a damnable fool....

[seththeslayer1]

definately not a savannah monitor

[Silver28thOkt]

thats not come from africa you idiot

komodo is come from INDONESIA

on KOMODO ISLAND

[slippy441]

Your guide is full of shit. Thats a nile monitor. They are actually REALLY easy to tell apart.

[NorthernExoticPets]

sorry but your guide isnt too bright...thats definatly not a savannah monitor....altho im not exatly 100% sure if its a nile either but it really looks like one.....i have a few big niles myself but they all have the spotting....in the wild they CAN tend to loose some color.........but bud i can for sure say you were right and the guide was wrong..lol

[LoneWolfHowl1]

Don't the African Rock Pythons make meals of the crocs?

[clownbarb1]

it was a gohanna i think

[reptile4u09]

cool vid

[reptiliancare]

sweet video, check out my profile for more strange reptile videos.

[SimonLy90]

I knew a guy that had a monitor when I was a little kid. He said he fed it rats and in the summer he out a leash on it and took it down to the river to swim.

[jdwgplatter]

Everyone questoning this mans specification on the nile vs. savannah monitor. It is neither it is not a nile for sure, it is too stocky to be a nile. It is a blackthroat monitor. Which is a close relative of the savannah but not the same family. As "Stopfederalism08" said it looked like a cape monitor (whitethroat) that was a very good/close observation. but i own a nile a savannah a white and 2 blackthroats and im confirming the monitor in question as a black throat.

[boywhonlycomment]

the last one looks like a snake with legs

[GeckoMan9103]

@boywhonlycomment Its A Skink :) (Y)

[patrickledford420]

osisris is right they lightly change pigment to dark or light when basking and cooling

[RespectReptilez]

im going kenya at easter time i cant wait nice vid anywayy

[tropicalkeeper19]

your wrong its a sav you can tell by the head

[Cycekpl]

Dude your so wrong. That is a nile monitor. Its way too long, and skinny. Savis are more buldier then nile, and they dont do water as much.

[stopfederalism08]

it just looks that way cause his neck is puffed up could maybe be a cape monitor (whitethroat) but i think its just a dark nile

[chiconspiricy]

That "black mamba" has proportions that are all wrong. One that length would be much thinner. Also, their venom is designed to work especially well on birds, killing them rapidly, and they can catch birds in mid air.

[Acuraintegraman1]

they red and blue cuz they are vain

[Devincool2]

that first monitor was a black throat or a savannah

[ZEPPELINofLED11795]

looks like a sav, and i think the guy said in the vid im not sure,

[Agarwaen777]

The first lizard that you see, the big one, was definitely a savannah monitor like he said. How do I know? Because I've caught both them and the nile monitor. Niles tend to be blackish with tiny white and green spots. They also have tails that are longer than their bodies and thin necks and heads. The last lizard in the film wasn't a monitor at all. It looks kinda like an alligator lizard but is most likely a skink.

[MrOsiris201088]

Stop trying to sound smart. Monitor lizards change colour tone from light to dark depending on body temperature, you cannot identify two very similar built lizards from that at that kind of distant shot. And the last one was a skink, alligator lizards live in the states not Africa. Get your facts right.

[Agarwaen777]

I could fire that prickly comment right back at you MrOsiris, you evidently haven't been taught how to read yet. I said it looked LIKE an alligator lizard but that it "is most likely a skink!" And alligator lizards live in Canada too, not just the states. And are you getting your facts about monitor lizards from Wikipedia or are you just making them up? Anyone who has ever seen or held a monitor lizard could tell the difference between a nile and a savannah from quite a ways off.

[KarmaSamTitan]

that was NOT a nile monitor, is was some type of skink, and if you were talking second to last it wasnt a nile either.

[tropicalkeeper19]

definitly a nile monitor

[rryyaannhhaarroo]

nile monitor

[13nny]

what was the last lizard u shown?

[briczar22]

Not sure. They were common around the camp in Kenya. Looked like some kind of smaller salamander but you don't find those in Central/East Africa.? So I'm not sure.

[DMMhelperspirit1of1]

@briczar22 lizzard

and i think a skink, if thats also how they are called in english

[herps4life007]

it was NOT a monitor it was a type of skink. i am not shure what kind but i know it was a skink.

[Mark101394]

@13nny it was a skink, probably a blue-tounged skink

[theopat1999]

i believe that is a type of skink

[AussiReptilesRule]

@13nny Defiantly some kind of skink

[MrGooseMuffin]

@13nny I know this is a late reply, but it looks like some kind of skink..

[reptilian49]

@13nny i think its a fire skink

\

[Vindowvista]

@13nny i think its a skink :P

[globnoob999]

[n2488]

@13nny some kind of skink

[pianoguy98]

lizards are fuckn awsome

[WestMidsTraveller]

Cool video, thanks for sharing. We all too often overlook the little animals in our rush to see the big 5, it's good to see them have there on feature!

[lizardLORD1245]

nice vid 5*, what other places have u gone to find reptiles,

[briczar22]

Florida Everglades & Arizona desert is bascially about it for my travels to see reptiles.

[seththeslayer1]

@briczar22 can you post a vid on the arizona one PLEEEEEEZZZZ!!!!!!!

[whitewolf037]

@briczar22 i live near the everglades it is so amazing and there are lots of reptiles

[googleissmart]

komodo dragons r NOT venomous on the conterary their saliva has bacteria wich when in your blood stream can kill you

[StoonBuds420]

you are correct lol why would someone thumbs down you...? retards

[AngeloHmusic]

actually they recently found out that with the bacteria in their saliva they also have a snake like venom which is a bit stronger that help the komodo kill its prey

[SlenderTroll]

@googleissmart Actually, recent studies suggest that Komodos ARE venomous, but their venom is not strong enough to kill you. They have deadly bacteria in their mouths and venom glands in the back of their mouths. Many lizards are recently being discovered to have venom glands, including popular pet lizards such as bearded dragons; however, the neurotoxins in many lizards are certainly not on fatal levels.

[DMMhelperspirit1of1]

@googleissmart that has been prooved wrong by now

they have somme poisson

[Churnz]

komodo dragons are the biggest lizard on earth, they will kill yyou in one bite!

[kelvin441997]

Yeah their moth may not contain venom but it has Bactiria in them and its venomus

[esakangomba]

encore une belle vidéo, sur des animaux atypiques, si peu d'intérêt leurs est porté.

Merci pour eux

[kelvin441997]

Animals are better free than in captivity,LOVE ANIMALS!

[victoriapschen]

Actually now it really depends... the earth is now very unstable, mainly because of the rapid increase in human population. In the past, i would say, yes, animals are better off in the wild. Now it is hard to say... a lot of them get poached or die of other unnatural causes.

[bukovijek]

[wolf7200]

thx for this videO ^ ^

[ElectofGod13]

Nice video. Thanks.

[allaboutnature]

Animals are awesome.

[AshleyBlapro]

This is a really cool vid!

I'm gonna be an Environmentalist and I've truly learnt a lot!

[vickiormindyb]

Reptiles creep me out, and I've seen a lot of creepy things.

I'm a paramedic, and I had to treat a man who was bitten by the alligator he owned.

He was keeping it in his bathtub, IDK why, and it bit him when he reached in to take it out. IDK why he wanted to take it out either.

He swore to us that his "pet" was tame (it even had a name, Allo) but I refused to enter the scene until Animal Control had done something with the alligator.

[hexagramz]

@vickiormindyb that's because your a fat warm blooded mammal and you deserve to be eaten.

[elizabethlee2008]

[darkula666]

nice vid

[105km]

Love reptiles! And amphibians!

[tigerztigerztigerz]

Nice :)

[hga024]

Reptiles are one of the most fascinating animals (all animals are fascinating but I especially love crocodiles- being a very big fan of Steve Irwin).

The way they regulate their body temperature, the way they look after their babes, their way of life, the way they hunt are fascinating things.

When you look at a reptile you see a living dinosaur, a living fossil and you see a peace of natural history.

Reptiles really are incredible animals.

[briczar22]

they really are. I also think the insect world is VERY interesting due to the wars they have and all they can do..but i just don't get that into it.

Thanks for watching!

[doglostflorida]

Not a reptile fan, but great video. Really interesting to watch, thank you. Great how you let people know in the description were they can contact if they have reptiles they can no longer care for. People have not known what to do here and just released them, that is sad. Hope any one that loves reptiles reads the information you have here. Watching this think I became a little bit if a reptile lover :)

[briczar22]

Yes, i have seen a lot of reptiles (mostly iguanas) that need a good home. Any reptile section of a zoo can tell you the amount of phone calls they get from people looking to get rid of their pets. I am not a big fan of the reptiles, but i have had my share of helping clean boa exhibits and even a komodo dragon holding. Snake poop is nasty :)

[patrickledford420]

@briczar22 yeh too many irrisponsible pet owners

[patrickledford420]

@briczar22 and oh yeh do you beleive evolution
