editNice one, @Casliber: I got some ideas for the article I was working on. There is a sand goanna complex that separated Varanus rosenbergi and left Varanus gouldii (s.s.) and this species unresolved: distribution overlap / potential hybrids / ecological distinctions etc. I tried to outline this at the latter article, it could probably be clearer. cygnis insignis 14:20, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

The lace monitor are apex predator
editThe lace monitor is are apex predator, and l can give multiple arguments. On adult lace monitor hunts only crocodiles and dingoes. If crocodiles can only catch them in the water, and monitor lizards usually prefer to move on land, thus crocodiles very rarely intersect with variegated monitor lizards, let alone hunt them, then dingoes hunt either sick or small adults. There is nothing to talk about wedge-tailed eagles. A few cases have been recorded, but this is very rare, and it is likely that all incidents were from an ambush.

- Your "arguments" are beside the point if you cannot provide a reliable, working source (i.e. not a dead link to a dubious source) that explicitly states this. See WP:OR. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:23, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I didn't find reliable sites, but if you google about it, you will find a mountain of statements that the lacy monitor is the apex predator. Especially, lace monitor is are the third local predator by mass after amethystine python and perentie, on a par with rhombic python. So why shouldn't it become an apex predator? Even the cougar is not as big in its range as this monitor lizard. Adult cougar can fall prey for american black bears, american alligators and crocodiles, wolfs, jaguars, a little specimens for pythons, anacondas (was one cause), and wolverines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Амангелді Бексұлтан (talk • contribs) 13:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

There are three articles on Wikipedia about this lizard. Should they be merged? Budgewoi (talk) 14:17, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
