Water monitor. These guys were just cruising round under a culvert on the side of the road. The wildlife is amazing! There is even electric fences on the side of the roads to prevent wild elephant from crossing into farmland!

This place was hit hard in the 2004 Tsunami. 0ver 30 thousand Sri Lankan islanders lost their lives, over 8 thousand from this very place. It was very humbling to walk around this area.
