EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic presence of a Spotted Goanna at Hamersley Station. As one of the largest Australian monitor species, these goannas are known for their voracious appetite and can feed on anything available to them. It is not uncommon to find them indulging in road-kill kangaroos and emus, making them an essential traditional food source for the indigenous people throughout the Pilbara region. In this particular image, we witness an obese individual goanna, which serves as a testament to the favorable conditions brought about by recent flooding rains. The lush environment has provided abundant nourishment for this magnificent creature, resulting in its plump appearance. The Spotted Goanna is a familiar sight within the picnic areas of Karijini National Park nearby. Its frequent presence adds excitement and awe to visitors exploring Western Australia's stunning landscapes. Against a backdrop of rocky terrain, this goanna stands out with its vibrant colors and striking patterns. Photographer Henry Cook skillfully captures both the beauty and wildness of this animal in its natural habitat. This photograph invites us into a world where animals roam freely without human interference—a reminder of nature's wonders that deserve our utmost respect and preservation.
