That's pretty cool. Soon they'll discover some obscure insular prasinid with a singular modified forefinger akin to that of the Aye-Aye from Madagascar, tapping up grubs to nibble on. But seriously, the varanids display all sorts of cognitive behaviors and capacities for learning. And they are certainly subject to operant conditioning.
