Suburban Goanna


This large goanna has turned up at our next door neighbour's place.  They have chickens and large trees, so this goanna -  maybe has been washed up from our recent floods, has found "goanna heaven". He eats all the eggs and then has a nice tree to rest up in.


I spotted the goanna the other day walking about my next door neighbours yard just checking out the plants and I am sure that he was looking for eggs and other goanna yummy eats!

Just an update on the goanna.   I was talking to my neighbour a couple of days ago and she told me that the RSPCA (an animal welfare organisation in Australia), has captured the goanna.  Then they had taken the goanna to their vet and had it checked out.  The goanna was fine and then they released it back into the Australian bush near a creek.  The story of this goanna made the local press.
