Re: Raven Vs. Lacie (V. varius)
How do you get your monitors down the tree after taking pictures? Do you just wait until it climbs down?

No pets involved.

The caw of the raven drew Nick's attention while he was photographing wildlife.
Likely scenario... The lizard was having some raven eggs for supper  Why else would a bird take this chance with a bird eating predator?

Isn't the raven too big for the monitor to eat?

I can say with the utmost certainty that a Lace monitor could and would gobble up a raven.
October 29th in Queensland a wild Lace monitor regurgitated the entire side including rear leg of a Kangaroo Joey.
The lizard was being relocated at the time.

Great shot! Do you know if the raven got away or became food?

He said the raven flew away after several minutes of raising the devil.
