Perentie, Varanus giganteus

The Garden, Macdonnell Ranges, NT

Way back in the days before the internet I worked as a herpetologist in Central Australia. I met this Perentie in a dry creek bed.
I was astonished at the obvious binocular vision apparent on this species. Perenties are Australia's largest lizard species reaching
well over two metres in length.
