25.01.2022 Well, this is the species of monitor that stirred my interest in these fantastic lizards 55 years ago, when I first saw a couple on a school outing to the neare...st zoo. I had only ever seen the relatively tiny sand lizards in my parents garden in northern Germany before. It is an Asian Water Monitor, Varanus s. salvator, taken in situ in the mangroves of the Madu River on the southern coast of Sri Lanka almost three years ago. This is the 2nd largest of all monitors in bulk and known to reach 3.23metres in total length, that is longer than a Komodo Dragon. The first seven of the eight previously posted goanna shots of Australian species come from my monitor book, of course. For anyone not being aware of it, here is the link: https://au.blurb.com/b/10242746-a-photographic-guide-to-aus Just click the link to preview. Both soft cover hard copy and pdf can be ordered on the link. See more

14.01.2022 A SEMINAR NOT TO BE MISSED! In an interview some years ago the UK's Guardian newspaper asked me which living person I most admired. I could have said Sir David ...Attenborough,and it might surprise some to learn he was not the David I named. I said David Warrell, Professor David A. Warrell from Oxford University, one of the most respected snakebite experts in the world. I have known David since the 1980s, when I had to survive the night on a remote research station in the northern Amazon following a cascavel rattlesnake bite. I have worked with him on snakebite projects in Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and Myanmar and heard David speak on numerous occasions at symposia and conferences in the UK and overseas. David is a very engaging speaker and a master of his subjects, snakebite and tropical medicine. Now you can listen to a lecture by David Warrell because he is delivering the latest in the series of weekly herpetological seminars: De-mystifying Clinical Toxinology for Herpetologists. David's talk will take place at the usual time of 18:00 BST (British Summer Time) on Wednesday 10th June. Please note that some elements of the talk are sensitive and might be upsetting to some viewers.

13.01.2022 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there can be no argument about the Collett's Snake, Pseudechis colletti being the most colourful of the larger venomou...s Australian snakes. Very popular in the snake keeping hobby and readily bred, but finding one in the wild is truly rare occasion. So Gary Stephenson and I counted ourselves lucky not to have run over it when this juvenile crossed the road near Winton. We had also found the previously posted Black-headed Python and the Woodland Adder on the same trip. See more

06.01.2022 ...... a shame on us in this country. "The loss of the species confirms Australia’s unenviable position as the world’s capital for mammal extinction, lifting the total number known to have died out to 34."

03.01.2022 The coastal taipan is the most dangerous snake species in Australia. So how exactly does its venom work? #ABCCatalyst

03.01.2022 Hi, I'm a documentary filmmaker extremely passionate about human-animal coexistence stories (: If possible, I'd like to invite you to check out our new campaign... for my upcoming documentary Mother Crocodile on Documentary Australia Foundation and ask you to kindly contribute by donating/sharing/following/commenting, interacting with us https://documentaryaustralia.com.au/proje/mother-crocodile/ Dr. Marise Tellez from Crocodile Research Coalition (CRC) kindly wrote about our film: "The very westernised thought of anthropomorphising animals is not wrong at all. To think of animals as having feelings, thoughts, emotions, it has never been seen as "wrong" to someone of indigenous background. I think this film breaks that barrier which I believe needs to be broken if we are truly going to build that bridge between nature and humans once again. Matadora Films production, Trailer below:
