This creature (I assume it's called Monitoring Lizard) was caught in my area this morning along Atimbo Road in Calabar, Cross River state. The area is a swampy one though. Just last week, humongous python measuring more than 12feet long was caught in the area too. Although people say this animal is just a little one, but the it is so big to me. The man who caught it is already looking for buyers and says he would sell it 10k or 8k last. He is at the mechanic workshop now waiting for the workshop boss to arrive. I guess today being holiday would really make sense to whoever gets to buy this.
is monitor lizard harmful

Don't blame me if there is any mistake there. I am no zoologist. Just correct me if there is any mistake(s) spotted.
It's Monitor Lizard.

Let me guess, they would kill this poor lizard and use it for pepper soup as well, right?

Na wao for una! In naija, every animal, no matter how dirty and unclean, is an edible food shocked

Let's just come out and say it: Nigerians love rare/weird meat.
Instead of keeping this probably endangered species in a zoo. .
they'll be looking for how to consume it. That animal has really poisonous bacteria in it's saliva, im sure the clueless fools in their bid to waste nothing will still add the animal's tongue into the pot.

The cycle is awalys the same - some jobless mofo catches a rare animal and he instantly lays claim and starts looking for buyers. . .

No wonder they call us the Consumer Race. .because all we do is consume and consume. . we hardly make or give back. A Kenyan or South African would see this animal and give it to a Zoo. .not find ways to digest it. First it was a Hippo, next a Sea Cow/Manatee ,now it's a Monitoring Lizard. All for FOOD. .
I'm ashamed for them.
Food Mongers. .
Awon elebi iya. . . undecided cry

To a certain degree,it depends...smaller animals,young animals are more likely to be in fatality from a bite. The main concern is bacterial infection from it's bite(it's saliva is laden with bacteria!)

You live in Nigeria and call it a zoo, that makes you an animal.

For godsake these animals being killed left and right are suppose to be preserved somewhere, what is wrong with Nigerians? These animals are been driven out of their enviroment on a daily basis and why we see them in our areas is because they are searching for food. Please i call on spirited individuals and organisation to come together and see how they can be a voice for these creatures.

That is not monitor lizard, it stays in the swamp and land. It is a herbivore. It can swim, it goes into fish ponds to eat fish. They are mostly found in the swamp or where you have dead things or dirt. Look for the name to be more informed.
