The image displays a large monitor lizard positioned within an animal enclosure in Kfar Saba, Israel. The lizard's body, primarily grey-brown, exhibits a reddish-purple discoloration on its mid-dorsal section. A light-colored, fabric-like material is loosely wrapped around the lizard's lower back and upper tail area. Its thick, reddish-brown tail, featuring distinct horizontal ridging, extends towards the lower right of the frame. One visible hind leg is bent, displaying patterned scales. The ground consists of reddish-brown soil mixed with small stones, wood fragments, and dried plant matter. The scene is illuminated by a strong, reddish-orange artificial light source, particularly prominent on the substrate and the lizard's tail. In the left foreground, a portion of a light-colored, rough-textured water dish is visible. The background features a dark metal grate, indicative of a cage or enclosure wall, and a dark green structural element, possibly part of a door frame. No people are present.
