Varanus giganteus, Perentie, doesn't live here (in the north) but is a dweller of the central desert areas of Australia. Second largest lizard in the world, after the Komodo Dragon of Indonesia, it grows to over 2.5 metres. This photo is of a baby of just under a metre long I found in the Gibson Desert. A few years earlier I came across a huge one in western Queensland, near the Simpson Desert, close to the 2.5 metre mark. Only had a film camera and it was overcast weather. The photo didn't come out all that well and scanning didn't improve anything. You never tangle with them, they can do serious damage.
