A man was jogging in Japanese Garden, a park located in Jurong East, on Thursday (21 April 2016) when he noticed a two-metre-long monitor lizard.
Upon getting closer to the reptile, he realised that it had made a meal out of a stray cat.
He captured the episode on video and sent it to citizen journalism website Stomp.
He said: "Yesterday evening while jogging in Japanese Garden, I stumbled upon a two-metre-long monitor lizard feasting on its prey.

"The prey was dead but from far, I could not make up what it was. I moved closer till I realised it was a stray cat.
"It is pretty uncommon to see animal killings in its natural habitat, especially in Singapore.
"While on my way out of the garden, I saw a stray Siamese cat. Unfortunately I don't speak cat language, otherwise I would have warned it about the cat killer roaming in the park."
Komodo Dragons can sprint short distances at about 10-11 mph. I am not sure what 'short distances' mean, so lets say 150 feet.
The qualifying time for the NY Marathon is 9 mph which is roughly twice the speed of a walking pace. Most people's (in decent shape) sprinting probably is about 15 mph, with world records being 23 mph. Let's say Dennis (or Newman) has a sprint speed of 12 mph for 150 feet.
So, if safety was 150 feet away, Dennis would make it without a head start at all. - Andrew Gutsch, Retail Loss & Liability
