Nile monitors are beautiful and powerful creatures, far more dangerous than a crocodile of equivalent size. This video was uploaded for educational purposes only, so that viewers could see this awesome creature hunt its prey. I don't own this animal and didn't shoot the video, so don't bother flaming me in the comments below. Watch or not at your own discretion. The Nile Monitor's name is "Bono" and he is fed an overall balanced diet that only occasionally includes live prey. He did go on to fully eat the rat awhile later, but he carried it into his shelter first, so we couldn't film it.
