I dont like frogs and I dont like snakes. But snakes love to eat frogs

They swallow them live mostly.
But what I really hate are big lizards.
I was once driving along a lonely road, besides a flooded river somewhere in the middle east. It was a hot summer afternoon. And I saw a lizard lying across the road almost along the whole breadth of it. I cut the engine and tried to get as close to it was possible. It made my flesh crawl even from the safety of the car. It was a nasty piece of work. Its head was up in the air, its mouth was open, as it peered around. Then it slithered into the bushes by the side of the road. I wouldn't have liked to come across this beast unarmed!
