Post your reptile pics here

Pearl, as she is affectionately known by locals, lives on a particular stretch of the Adelaide River, south-east of Darwin. She is an extremely rare-in-the-wild white saltwater crocodile--not an albino (her eyes are not red) but a different mutation.

She is.

And given that way less than 1% of croc hatchlings survive until maturity, she's also very lucky to have done so without blending in to the darkish water and mud like most crocs do.

Some prey with bad vision may mistake the head as a rock

To think another way....there's always another way.

This is a dinosaur if it grows its head on its tail.

Sorry, it's a "No".
The dinosaur is big and shy. It runs away like a rabbit when some excited kids come on the scene.

Thank you for trying! What is the true name for this centuries old dinosaur?

Sorry for the name.
It's an Asian water monitor (lizard).
It's the second largest lizard next to Komodo dragon.

Thank you and Cheers!
