Monster Lizard Hunts Kangaroo

Perentie monitor lizard's prey includes young kangaroos, other small marsupials, snakes, bats, and rodents. Behind the facade of Australia’s dramatic scenery is a motley crew of silent assassins, con artists, gang members, and brutal brawlers, vying for supremacy amidst the harsh, dry and desolate Australian desert. Competition for resources is so fierce, it’s animal residents have developed some ingenious methods of survival.

With this incredible camera footage I'm surprised it wasn't able to show us how close the parentee was actually to the kangaroo.   A panoramic view would have been more effective than just showing the lizard and then the kangaroo running separately.

That lizard is too ambitious. 😄 First, the kangaroo is way faster and secondly, if the lizard did by some chance kill a kangaroo, he will struggle to eat it if it's an adult kangaroo. Thirdly, if the lizard does manage to eat a full-grown kangaroo, it will probably be its last meal for sure. A full-grown kangaroo will probably take a month to break down and digest. That lizard should aim lower.
