MONITOR LIZARDS INVADE OUR AUSTRALIAN BBQ!

Monitor lizards dominate Australia, and as I took a break from filming a perentie monitor episode to enjoy an Aussie bbq, it didn’t take long for a herd of lace monitors to smell what we were cooking, and come looking for a handout!

Lace Monitor Facts:
The lace monitor or lace goanna (Varanus varius) is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus. Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the perentie. These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances. Their diets typically consist of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds, and birds' eggs. They are also carrion eaters, feeding on already dead carcasses of other wildlife. Lace monitors will also forage in areas inhabited by people, raiding chicken coops for poultry and eggs, rummaging through unprotected domestic garbage bags, and rubbish bins in picnic and recreational areas.
