Booth, that was probably a Monitor Lizard. They can get to be pretty good size.

Heh, Steve I think that was a Lot lizard. Got them up here too, not just in mexico. I got chased by one at the T/A in Ontario, CA. She wasn't trying to hit me with her tail tho'. :twisted:

I have to say, when a wild animal attacks you it's not like a human where you get pushed or something, it's all or nothing. I mean, it was all out and over in a few seconds.
If anyone ever gets to Cozumel, you have to rent a jeep or moped and go to the back side of the island. 100 miles of nothing but untouched beach and not a sole in site. |
