Description
This hungry Lace Monitor was looking for a snack in the termite nest on this tree. In fact, it was interested in the eggs of the Kingfishers who, in their turn, had built their nest in the termite nest!
The Lace Monitor is the second largest monitor in Australia. It's native to east Australia and can get up to 2 metres long! They have beautiful black and yellow patterns on their scaly skin. They spend time in trees as well as on the ground, hunting for insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds, and birds' eggs. They can sometimes be found attacking poultry and eggs at farms or at properties in a bush environment. The photo was taken in South East Queensland, Australia.
