Earless Monitor Lizards Look Like Tiny Real Life Dragons (Pics)
Even despite the fact that we look at animals all day long, nature still manages to surprise us every once in a while with something amazing . Because nature is amazing and so are animals. And this specific animal - the earless monitor lizard, otherwise known as Lanthanotus borneensis - has managed to take us by surprise, because these little guys look like tiny real life dragons.
Lizards keep surprising us with how cool they are now that we're thinking about, and so do other super underappreciated animals. And if you know anything about us, you know that we enjoy nothing more than giving love to animals who do not get enough of it. So, enjoy this little underappreciated creature - in all its tiny but fierce glory.
