A friend of
mine on KI has just told me that she witnessed a goanna - and not too big either 50-60cm (nose to vent) capture and consume a small wallaby near Seal Bay.
Have any of you amateur herps seen anything to compare?
Cheers
Andrew who's closest thing would be seeing monitors eating road kill up North.

Your probably going to say bulls bleep , but I was out at Arltunga on the weekend and saw a Koala eat an elephant!! Yep to gulps..gone! Ive even had photos to prove it! Until a finch snatched the camera out my hands and did a runner!
Do you realise they are the worlds second most dangerous animal?
Only second to the wombat! (ThreadID: 50534)

Andrew
Don't listen to the Mayor of Scrubby town. He's gets his furry critters mixed up.
Bogong Bog Hoppers eat Elephants..... not Koalas! LOL
A Goanna is quite capable of bringing down a larger animal. We lived at a place called Moganemby for a while and lost lambs to the bigger one's.

Gday Andrew,
"presumably a dead one?"
Of course not silly.....all animals stop eating when they're dead!
