Nice monitor shots! A friend of mine, Dr. Eric Pianka did a lot of field research on monitors back in the 70s-90s. So much that he became known as "The Lizard Man."

I met him in '63 when he was working on his PHD and helped with his field research for a few weeks that and the following summer.

Good to see a pic of Neil in the chair and he is awake,also Sandy carried a tin of herrings around in her panniers on the Silk Road and it opened somehow and spilt all through the pannier what a mess your sardines reminded me of that.

Certainly looks like one of the highly diverse wattles.
