Family Varanidae

The Malayan water monitor has a forked tongue like a snake's, and it uses this as an olfactory organ to track down carrion and small animals. This lizard is not just a scavenger for it actively hunts and eats insects, crabs and fish.
Although it is most often encountered on the ground, it is adept at climbing trees and is also an expert swimmer. When startled, it often dives into the water to escape.
It is often mistaken for a crocodile or otter! The Estuarine crocodile ( Crocodylus porosus , Family Crocodilidae) has a much longer snout and raised ridges on the back, and is rarely seen in Singapore. The water monitor is usually an inoffensive creature unless cornered, when it will try to bite or lash out with its powerful tail. It is often captured for its hide and meat.
