Is that a crocodile or monitor lizard? From afar, it's hard to tell.
The reptile's identity has sparked a debate between Stomper Steve and his friends.
Steve spotted the creature in a river near the Singapore Flyer last Friday (March 19), at around 12.45am. Believing it to be a crocodile, he took a video.
Steve said: "However, some of my friends who saw the video think that it is a monitor lizard.
"I feel that it is a crocodile as it is much larger in size. It also had a bigger mouth and tummy.
"It's my first time seeing a crocodile in the area and I found it hard to believe as there are a lot of visitors here.
"The crocodile then swam towards the floating platform at Marina Bay."
