Wandering Goanna

Wandering Goanna
I'll admit I was surprised, when driving a few days ago, to see this large Goanna wandering along the nature strip outside a neighbour's house. I stopped the car and wished I'd had a longer lens on the camera as I quickly caught this shot. Australia has about 25 species of Goannas, I think this one probably is a Lace Goanna (Varanus varius), also known as a Lace Monitor. Best viewed large.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone, I wish you all a great weekend.

I just read that alarmed goannas can mistake standing humans for trees and attempt to climb them to safety, which is painful and can be distressing for both human and goanna!!
HFF & have a great w/e.

This is not the sort of wildlife I'd expect to see on the lawn in our garden, George. I have spotted the odd domestic cat, and an occasional pigeon.
hFF and enjoy the pleasures of high summer.
