Vielleicht existiert der Mindanao-Bindenwaran nicht auf Schweizerdeutsch, Daniel.

Now, that's helpful, Gerald... Und ich hatte gedacht, ich *könne* Deutsch! ;-)) db.

Thanks, Daniel. Actually, Dagmar, my wife, discovered this animal while I was taking pictures of a python at the opposite of the hall. Der deutsche Name ist "Mindanao-Bindenwaran" (without the sign in the zoo, I think almost nobody would know this animal). -Gerald

Very adequate for the topic, Gerald: well seen! (Und wie heisst das Wesen auf Deutsch?)

No problem. And I still like it :-)

BTW, I think it is the little curve in the mouth that "makes this shot".

Thank you for your kind comment, Jim. Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea for a better title. -Gerald

I love it. It almost seems like "Look at me, I am king".
