MissGdope:
The amount of animals being killed is ridiculous. Why can't we preserve our wildlife. Instead of killing them, donate them to a zoo or something. Smh

Preserve?? These people care more about their stomachs. Plus, would you rather have the animal lying around your house? There are no wildlife marshals to tame the animals. Being a Nigerian, our first instincts would be to kill and ask questions later.

mulante:
I guess this is a monitor lizard. Sometimes i wonder how a harmless creature that has survived against all odds in the wild to become this big is put to instant death because we sometimes think its our neighbour's familiar that has come to cause us harm.

Buhari (govt. ) better make moves to resuscitate our zoos and reward Nigerians who donate any impressive wild animal to the nearest zoo, thereby conserving wildlife. If the thing na winch, make he turn back to human being inside the cage for the zoo.

Very soon, we'll run out of strange things to kill in this country and start killing people that speak strange languages.

This is an iguana not a monitor lizard

When I saw "big reptile" I think say na donor or dragon or even crocodile....tseeeew

This reptile is most likely a kimono lizard

Since when the man from daura has taken over, people have been hungrily killing innocent animal but when the man with phD in zoology was there, people are educated to conserve

It looks like a Komodo Dragon...

komodos are way bigger than that, besides they are not found in this part of the world. The black man and destruction. kill, destroy, maim, brutalize, wreck, burn, crush..he doesn't know when to stop.

This thing is very dangerous, it sucks out the brain without any close contact with its tongue ,Very deadly, thank God for ur life o

Hello poster, I want to thank you, for your post, of that reptile. I think, you have posted it, to sensitize the people, of the dangers, in your environment. However, you are mis-informed. That reptile, is not a CROCRODILE. Rather, what you have there, is an ALLIGATOR. Bye for now and remain BLESSED.

I was washing cloths only to hear noise coming from the next house to mine, at first I thought the mallam gateman was being attacked, later I heard "halleluyah", I climbed my decking only to see one of them holding a crocodile.....I guess its called Anta in Yoruba

y did u kill the innocent creature na?

Na forest you dey live?

Stuff like this shows how really backward and primitive Nigeria is.

This specie might be the last one. And it has just been wiped out with shouts of "hallelujah"!
There are many specie of this so-called monitor lizard or iguana.

We are destroying our wildlife heritage due to fear and primitive need to fill our stomach.
Just this week people killed a crocodile, and most NL'er did not even know the proper name for it. Some called it big "lizard"

Our children will learn about their extinct wildlife only via oral stories by their parent's if they were ever fortunate to see any, or via encyclopaedia or Google.

Our backwardness is getting worse every day. Sad

I saw one today near my pond. Bigger than this but i could not be bodored. Kill and risk jail term in Malaysia.

Ops funny oh, dats an alligator not a crocodile...hahahaha

[Not monitoring anything. It's an alligator


people thats a monitor lizard. Its a delicacy in many cities in Nigeria. If anybody tells u dats a crocodile tell the person that GoTV is now very affordable.[/quote]

Anta na alligator no be crocodile.

Agilinti in Yoruba. Soup.

We are a kill kill society

You guys should stop killing all this innocent creatures.

BRO, BELLE FIRST!

mizzyboy007:
Nigerians are just too quick to kill anything.... so pathetic.

^^^It's in their DNA!

Upon sighting any poor hapless creature that lost it's way and was unfortunate enough to turn up at their doormouth, their first instinct is to reach for the nearest cutlass!

Na wa o. Where do you live? This same reptile was killed by some mallams in my house yesterday(Thursday).
What's the name of the animal?
