Crikey! Look at this little beauty!

With apologies to the late Steve Irwin. I guess this is a goanna stealing some sun, but if it's not, I'll just refer to it as a fat lizard on a log. It was about a metre long.

From my recent trip to Fraser Island.

Leapin' lizards, Trevor.

Nice of him to pose for you like this.

Nice work Trevor, particularly viewed larger. The detail is excellent.

Yeah that was after he ran across the ground in front of us, threatening the pants legs of all and sundry

Fair scared me shitless!

Love a good goanna

I would like to see the head (specifically the eye) positioned slightly more toward the middle of the frame to emphasise a better connection with this scaley critter

I don't blame ya, the tail of these moving thru the bush make it look like it could well be any nasty snake.

I'm not sure that a connection was what Trevor had in mind.

Yes, but....

I wanted to show his whole length, rather than a portrait of his face.

Great pic, its good to get a whole animal like this rather than a portrait occasionally

A connection, had there have been one, could have been scarier than you think, these guys are actually mildly venomous!
