The golden tegu is a large lizard, growing to 3 feet and weighing 9 pounds. I came across this one in Trinidad. He was working his way through a rat, which was hidden in that leaf litter. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 290mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/100th of a second.

Blech. He ate a rat off the floor? Did he at least follow the 5-second rule?
