The firmiana malayana or mata lembu, remains here in testimony to man's care-less-ness - its tree had since been felled. Let not the birds leave too.

A four-legged resident

Looking like a 'Lord of the Ring', this Water Monitor Lizard stood almost majestic in the drain.  However this 'lord' immediately withdrew into its domain when it saw that I had spotted it!



Moments later, a smaller one was seen to crawl about, then into the hole.




Meanwhile, another one was spotted having a swim close by.
     This taman can really support varied wildlife.  Monitor Lizards are mainly carnivorous, preying on fish, frogs, smaller reptiles and even birds.
