Philippine Water Monitor
Varanus cumingi

Meet Phil
Phil is our resident Philippine water monitor here at The Living Rainforest. Most of the day, you’ll find her basking on her favourite log in the Small Islands Glasshouse, soaking up the warmth. When she’s not sunbathing, you might spot her using her sharp claws to climb around her enclosure. And if she gets too warm, she loves to take a refreshing dip in her pool to cool off.
