Description
A young goanna helping itself to the cats dinner. There is so much more to the story but that can wait for another day.
The Lace Monitor
The Lace Goanna or Lace Monitor (Varanus varius) is the second largest Australian goanna and can grow to two metres. Its range is restricted to eastern Australia, where it is found from Melbourne in the far south all the way up to Cape York in the north.
If a Lace Monitor feels threatened it will definitely race for the nearest tree. They generally spend a fair bit of their time in large trees, so much so that some people call them tree goannas. They are believed to eat more birds and eggs than other goannas. But they are good runners, burrowers and swimmers as well. Like other goannas they hunt and forage for their food on the ground.
Thank you for dropping by, your comments and advice are always appreciated.

Supper set of pics, Ralph. I suspect the "Lace" refers to the white dot clusters in the hide, yes? Have to ask. did the goanna know you were there?

I'll bet the cat doesn't mess with him. Claws certainly must be useful for tree climbing as well as self protection if forced into a corner. Neat collage presentation here. Bill
