Never Backdown
We came across these two monitor lizards engaged in combat while on our evening safari at Kabini Tiger Reserve, when we were in search of a big cat. These were two males engaged in a territorial dispute, and neither was prepared to give up. I had never seen anything like this before. It appeared as though two Godzillas were fighting.
