Varanus salvadorii teeth and jawbone...yikes!!

Check out the teeth that crocs are equipped with. These are from an eight foot specimen. I was trying to preserve the entire skull, but the bugs did too good a job at breaking down the dead tissue, so this was all I was able to salvage. Imagine getting bit by one of these, ouch... you would definately need reconstructive/plastic surgery without a doubt. This one's teeth are just over 5/8" in length!!! What do you think???

The Papuans do not call this lizard the "Dragon of the Trees"
(= Artrellia) for nothing!!

Thanx again Bob,
