Otters Size Up The Resident Monitor Lizard

Occurred on January 12, 2023 / Singapore

Info from Licensor: "Both Otters and Monitor lizards are often sighted at the Bishan Park, Singapore. This is an unusual encounter when a group of playful otters decided to check out a rather big monitor lizard on a morning in Jan 2023. There were 2 monitor lizards initially. They usually are not sighted together. One of them swam away. This particular lizard stayed put. It seemed that the otters were checking the lizard out. They would leave intermittently to hunt for fishes or join the big group of otters, but they would return to check out the lizard. As for the lizard, it seemed to stand firm to defend its ground. The otters eventually left the lizard alone."
