Chen Wen also heard the lizard's sound for the first time.
But rather than a sound, it was more like a hissing noise from air quickly expelled from the mouth.
"Be careful, judging by the surroundings, the lizards here are most likely eye-spotted monitors."
Chen Wen cautioned Dennis.
The eye-spotted monitor, a top predator in Australia, is the fourth largest lizard in the world.
A mature male eye-spotted monitor can typically grow to about two meters, with an average weight of over twenty kilograms.
They look more slender compared to Komodo dragons, a physique that grants them very high running speed.
The eye-spotted monitor can reach sprint speeds up to forty kilometers per hour over short distances!
This is a nimble, highly aggressive lizard.
However, for humans, the eye-spotted monitor is not considered a particularly dangerous animal.
On one hand, they live far from human society; on the other hand, eye-spotted monitors actively avoid humans.
But exceptions exist.
