How scary but it’s a bit cute.
Great pics! I would be terrified!
Cute post… nothing like team work! Those guys look like they are pretty big.
That second pic is a head-scratcher. How big are they?
Wow and wow! 🙂
Way fun and cool!!!
Hi,
Great photos, very scary, not the place to be leaving bags laying on the ground. 🙂
How do they not run away and if they do, how do you catch them? They are a little bit scary, in a beautiful sort of way. 🙂
They could have all the food they wanted…I’d be nowhere in sight if they were that close to my picnic 🙂
it is sooo funny watching the tourists with Max, Malorie & all their kids (think there is about 5 of ’em)….like the other day none of them were out down at Shellys Beach….i started to set up where i knew their tracks thru the scrub would come out at the picnic area…..two tables, two barbies had just started up, then i turn up with the camera focusing on a wall of scrub, all these people thought i was mad….fair enough….then like clockwork, Malorie pops her head out of the scrub, then casually wondered down for a sniff….well, i’ve never seen so many people with their mobiles & cameras out all of them taking snaps on top of their tables & food….sorry but it was funny….Max, Malorie all of ’em are just so cool in my book…..
@Gemma, its their beach, we are their guests & they are so polite about having us there…they just wonder thru, no dramas….& we don’t catch them, not unless one is hurt or something then i’d be ringing a biologist mate of mine who specialises in reptiles…she gets called in to remove & relocate some of our deadliest snakes, plus she just loves monitors, so it would be her telling me what to do should we ever have to catch one if it was crook or something…….
Sorry. I must have misread something. I thought they belonged to someone. Then by all means they should run, be free! 🙂
I wish I’d have seen them on one of my many walks on Shellys beach…they must not be morning lizards :’)
david and janine – really cool. monitors, huh? they are interesting! great photos!
@rommel, Max would be just over 2metres, he is the Grand Daddy of the lot, but still quick on his feet should he need be….
These would drive me running in the opposite direction much less than stop for photos. Great pics, by the way 🙂
