While heading back from a surf break north of Carnarvon with some friends we spotted this rather large Perentie feeding on another smaller road-kill Perentie. As I took a closer look it decides I'm in the way of it's escape route and takes a lunge at me to get me to back up. This is a common bluff larger monitors use to warn off any would be predators. I follow it up to the cliffs on the coast where it decides I'm not much of a threat anymore. The massive lizard was happy to chill there for 20min while my friends went back to camp for my camera. After the I got my photos I went back to the road and brought his meal back for him to enjoy as a thank you for being such a legend.
