  Yes you have to watch them. Many get used to people having a bbq whilst camping and some monitors get very determined and demand a pice of meat or sausage. Posted 3 years ago

    Is their byte infectious like with the Komodo dragon? That would make for even more "willingness" to share your goodies ;o) Posted 3 years ago

The big ones are quite intimidating. I have seen them rush tourists to make them drop their picnics lol.

  Yes I know the feeling when that happens. Just give them the meat and don’t argue. Posted 3 years ago
