Mertens Water Monitor. #14/100 x 2022 Water.

            "These water-loving monitors are found throughout northern Australia, frequenting water ways such as rivers, creeks, billabongs and lagoons.
These impressive reptiles are perfectly designed for aquatic hunting! They are able to close their nostrils under water and with their long powerful tail, they propel themselves forward in search of fish, frogs and crabs! On land, they can also prey upon small mammals, birds, eggs and even insects.
It is named after German herpetologist Robert Mertens.
The Mertens’ water monitor is well adapted to the harsh northern Australian environment. However, they are unfortunately threatened by the introduction of species such as the toxic cane toad. One bite of a toad by a monitor will spell death for the lizard.  Sadly, this beautiful reptile is considered an endangered species."
