Crocodile?

I usually notice animals. I seem to have a decent eye for spotting animals without effort. Probably because I spent so much time outside as a child and teen.

On Monday I spotted a crocodile or relative of a crocodile in the Penang River. I am positive I saw it. The shape of the head of a crocodile is very unique and it was swimming along nicely. I estimate that it was about 2 meters long (that's about 6 feet 6 inches).

I have seen several smaller monitor lizards here on Penang Island as well. I think they were just over a meter long, about 4 feet, with their tail. A very beautiful animal.
