Perentie monitor lizard's prey includes young kangaroos, other small marsupials, snakes, bats, and rodents. Behind the facade of Australia’s dramatic scenery is a motley crew of silent assassins, con artists, gang members, and brutal brawlers, vying for supremacy amidst the harsh, dry and desolate Australian desert. Competition for resources is so fierce, it’s animal residents have developed some ingenious methods of survival.

More accurate title "Giant lizard tries to hunt kangaroo, fails and settles for a snake"
Facts😃

From indramayu city just u
Why do I feel like the lizard never actually chased the kangaroo, they just filmed separate instances of the lizard and kangaroo hunting and edited them together?
yes my friend, it's called sensationalist bullshit, or these days clickbait, there's no way even an 9 ft lizard, basically an extra large goanna is going to take down a big red, not an adult anyway.
Why didn’t they show him chasing a lion
@@011353ever Aus has no lions
Idk
It's all bullshit...so he was "chasing" a kangaroo and stumbled across a snake 4 seconds later...🤣🤣🤣
A giant snake with legs... As if regular snakes weren't dangerous enough 😂
Props for even trying for the roo. It ran away. That actually says a lot in itself.
Oh yeah definitely! 😎
It's heavily edited so who knows if it actually chased the roo
Roo is too fast for lizard.
@@peterfile2185 yipouyoi
Yeah, takes guts to do that.
You don’t even see them in the same shot together lol it looks like they’ve just recorded them separately 🤣
you on it young nigga! if you black
I was thinking the exact same thing
@Minecraft Lover maybe he's a black racist. Stop thinking how the media wants you to
@@jessie7339jessie exactly like tf 🥴🤣🤣🤣
@Minecraft Lover Definitely white. Black people don't talk like that.
Clickbait - someone stitched together pictures of a lizard and pictures of a ‘roo. They dint even appear in the same picture.
That's the comment I was searching for.
Precisely. Desperate for clicks.
Indeed. And the footage wasn't even of the same kangaroo!! Not to mention the range of perenties and wombats don't overlap and rainbow bee-eaters aren't typically part of the 'desert community'.
I don't even think it's the same perentie eating the snake. The colour and markings are totally different.
@@trentoncrisp Yeah. it’s really annoying when people do this cause i’m looking for real stuff not fake stuff. like someone could have taken time recording this and this person could have stole it from them and is now taking credit
Narrator: "The Perentie is the lizard king!" Komodo Dragon: *"Am I a joke to you?"*
maybe its the king lizard in its environment
Komoddo is king maker.
Pretty sure Komodo's aren't in Australia though.
😂 he is

A guy who grew up in Hong Kong, I only saw lizards the size of my palm that looked really cute. Never knew there are gigantic lizards out there that look so scary!
I can't imagine hiking in Australia, the place leeks with venom. You probably need to be clothed in a full metal gear to survive down under.
You are write

😂😂😂
@@user-dw1jm1zr2w right, not write. No offense.
@@nelsoncheng4638 thanks mate.
Next time on clickbait, watch a jackal hunt an adult elephant, we'll stitch together some bullshit clips of them in separate shots, then the jackal will settle for a juvenile meerkat
Lol great comparison tbf though perenties do have the physical ability to go after kangaroos and have done it before but this is horrible
😆
i hate this effen sh%t
As long as we're doing fake videos, could you guys show clips of me in boxing gear throwing punches edited together with clips of Mike Tyson getting punched who eventually falls to the floor and i knock him out. Thank you
4:46 Parenti running is very funny 😂😂😂
It runs like charlie chaplin
2:49 Imagine you taking a nap under a tree and wake up to the sound and sight of this in front of you.
It weighs 15 kg (33 lb). You could break its neck without working up a sweat.
@@DieFlabbergastIt wouldn't be that easy, WTE ... these lizards are still pretty strong for their size.
@@DieFlabbergastIt wouldn't be that easy, WTE ... these lizards are still pretty strong for their size.
Am I the only one who had no clue lizards can't normally run and breathe at the same time? I assumed lizards just didn't run a lot at once because they needed to conserve energy.
Only monitor lizards that's why there the top lizard
they can't walk and chew gum at the same time either.
@@adotintheshark4848 Dart Goblin reference?
No, you are not the only one. At age 50 I’m watching this and beginning to think hard about the concept for the 1st time. Used to seeing those Komodo dragons sneaking up, taking a snip, then allowing the venom to set in. Never realized the remainder of them couldn’t run any extended distance.
Aussie monitors can run very fast for a short distance, don’t try to outrun them! I had one in my backyard a few years ago, my wife was terrified, called me home from work but it was gone when I got there. (Not a Parentie, this was a southern one.)
Coolest monitor ever. Always been more impressed by these guys than Komodos.
Yea they're no joke
You're funny bro
@@dennismichealsm3786 I agree with you on that one
still didn't get the jump on the joey though!
Its like choosing a raptor over a Trex
5:11 what a jump 🦘
It seems a very very small version of the Kamoto dragon, but still dangerous
Komodo,not kamoto..
They are the biggest in Australia, not so small up close!
Damn, that lizard is fast!
Scary fast!!
I would not want to be spotted by this lizard
While the kangaroo is just casually hopping away like Pepe Le Pew LOL
Title is wrong. It should be lizard gets owned by kangaroo and settles for a snake
Manchester always will be blue 💙
@@arabian1730 what do you know about Manchester?

Pretty much. That lizard set the bar way too high the moment it thought about taking down that kangaroo lol.

It looks related to Komodo dragons!
But it is
Komodo of Australia
It looks like a Mini Dinosaur as well 😇
Komodo is the biggest varanus species on my country Indonesia
@@GreenCheese500 exactly what I thought! Those eyes reminded me or prehistoric reptile birds. And the color patterns of a T-Rex 🦖 type of dinosaur 🦕 🦖. Raaaaawwwwwrrrr! 😂
A Komodo Dragon would Eat this monster lizard for Breakfast...Lol
Lol . For sure
If the komodo dragon had a brother hes the one😐
They used to coexist, at least in some part where desert meet with moist grassland or forest during ice age. But Komodo, along with the even bigger Megalania went extinct on Australia, so perentie is now the biggest one in the down under.
@@waranontwiwaha9385 any source?

It didn't say anything about Komodo and perentie coexisting, but judging from Komodo's habitat nowaday, it seems to be able to withstand drier climate despite being mostly forest animal, so it's likely both species of monitors did cross path in the old day.
6:20 The nunchucks sound was over the top😂
Anybody else went from “I can outrun that” to “HUH”
The perentie is the lizard king Komodo dragon: are you sure about that?
Q
Lol fr, the Komodo dragon would kill that thing in seconds. They're literally 2 meters, and let's not even talk about their saliva
its the lizard king just in its own enviroment bro
@@maguire8852 fr honestly cant imagine anything that would have been as dangerous as the Megalania since the dinosaurs, larger than most car, venomous or bacterial like infections it could cause like the komodo dragon, unmatched strength and speed.

Yes

"*I GOT AN IDEA!* ...Let me film a Kangaroo running, later a Monitor running in the same terrain. Then I'll say it was hunting the lizard. They won't question why my drone failed to take a high enough shot with both the Lizard and Kangaroo in the same frame to prove the lizard was really chasing the Kangaroo!"
This is why BBC earth is the best wild life channel
Perentie's may not be as big as a Komodo, but a far more efficient hunter. That tail is a serious weapon as well. Straight out of Jurassic Park.
i love the fact that the guys who made this show overdubbed the footage of the monitor breathing with their half-wit cousins mouth breathing like that's gonna somehow add to the viewer's enjoyment and immersion in the scenery. "hooo---haw... hooo-haw" nice, nice.
the way the perentie runs has me laughing
''Most reptiles wouldn't even dream of taking on a Red Kangaroo'' Crocodile:Am I a joke to you?
He (The narrator) meant terrestrial reptiles
@@keerthivasannambiraju955 huh?
This guy had me thinking he successfully hunted the kangaroo
1:56 that gulping sound tho
You recognised a beautiful sound!
One of the most deadly reptilian predators in the world hunts one of the fastest mammals in the world but also encounters one of the most deadly snakes in the world, but it’s ok because it evolved a defense against the snake’s venom. Most Australian video ever 😂
With this incredible camera footage I'm surprised it wasn't able to show us how close the parentee was actually to the kangaroo. A panoramic view would have been more effective than just showing the lizard and then the kangaroo running separately.
Because it never happened. The chase is fake. Check the vegetation carefully ... it doesn't match.
@@davidbroadfoot1864 lol I believe you, David, but how would you know to even look for something like that?
@@matthanneman7511 I am highly trained in forensic pedantry.
Yep, and the kangaroo was loping along, not fleeing.
I don't think you need any forensic science training to notice there was no kangaroo chase. Even the mice shown at the beginning: They make it look like this giant lizard was hunting those tiny mice, but then show it swallowing a rodent the size of its head.
His Color And Skin Patterns are Insanely Beautiful
that lizard never actually ] chased that kangaroo but I love the way they made it seem like it did
kzhead.info/tools/OL4Cd5mBr6TiVe3rxAAkEg.html
I thought the same. Two separate films put together. You never see the lizard and Roo in the same frame. Just garbage. A thirty pound lizard would get kicked to death dealing with a 200 pound kangaroo. Just ridiculous.
Have worked with a few wildlife film crews and your right they make up alot of their stuff up. Just like this one, perentie do not hunt fully grown kangaroo´s.
@@shaundouglas2057 Maybe a dingo would take on a small Kangaroo. Not a full grown one. People have no idea how powerful a full grown Kangaroo can kick. A 30 pound lizard would be stomped to a pulp.
@@rickjason215 But Komodo dragons hunt buffaloes and the size difference between them is larger than the size difference here. So couldn't a perentie hunt a roo if Komodo dragons could hunt buffaloes?
the way he runs towards the camera is so funny
I love how they hype up how dangerous the lizard is meanwhile the camera man is just 2 feet away lmao
Ikr like I'm literally over here wonder how the heck was this even recorded in such close proximity. Like I would NOT ever want to be near such lizard even if you pay me 1mil $, like my life is more important than money
it is called drone, dude...
As wa😅s noted the Lizard isn't that interested in humans in fact will retreat very quickly which makes them a great challenge to catch.
I swear, every time I watch a documentary about wildlife, I learn of a new, terrifying apex predator that’s just existing out there in Australia.
Not half as dangerous as a drunk Aussie on Saturday night.
Wouldn,t catch me ever visiting that beautiful country. The spiders are worse.
@@terrymckenzie8786……you’re missing out on much. Have travelled constantly my long life to various parts’. Absolutely fabulous! Was flying Darwin to Adelaide, leaving at 12:30pm. So was flying over the Centre, as the sun was setting. The colours’ were just so beautiful! 🇦🇺
I'd like to see the awkward moment when two lizards arrive at the same prey simultaneously. "Share 'em mate?"
Title should be “In edited and unrelated footage a goana runs and a kangaroo runs and the videos are spliced together.”
@Foot Akh And in real life no perentia hunts a full grown or even half grown kangaroo.
Can we please talk about how beautiful this lizard is?
it is horrible! LOL
The Roo isn’t even trying to run He s like a dog chasing a car
That's the beauty of Australia, think of all the millions of years of evolution still beautifully preserved by conservation. The video evokes sweet memories of Steve Irwin.
Evolution debunked by dna experts years ago
@@thewholetruth5173 Yeah right, DNA experts that just happen to be Fundamentalist Creationist Christians.
First time I heard of this lizard. My lord they are fast.
They will compete in the next Olympic games as Aussie sprinters .
They are dangerous.

it's komodo
Yeah..i didnt" know theres' another preditor large lizard that lives in Australia.!
The sound effects 🤣😂👌
That chase was hilarious 😹
Guys, Stop Complaining about the Fake Video. Recording These Types of Video is no Joke, it take more than a week to finish it.
These clips are taken from other sources, the part where it’s eating the snake is years old. Doesn’t take a week to finish when you’re not recording it
Here's a little known fact Monitor Lizards learnt how to run by watching Steven Segal chase badies across the outback
Hilarious
😆😂🤣 not bad mate not bad at all!
Lizzie is neither large nor fast enough to catch a fully grown roo.
"This thing applies to almost every living thing on Earth........ BUT THE PERENTIE"
POV: you thought the baby kangaroo was going to get eaten
I'm not even sure that the lizard was actualy chasing the kangaroo 😆
I doubt it can hunt wombats, kangaroos and dingos 😂
If the lizard went after baby, the mother would have kicked him into oblivion.
Perentie tries hunting kangaroos FROM THE HEAVEN Megalania: You too skinny bro!!!
Honestly I’d be scared asf if either of those things chased me
I thought the most 'iconic Australian sprinter' was Michelle Jenneke! 😆 Love her warm up dance!😍
It's frightening how fast that lizard can run....
“ and he’s hungry “ turns volume up !!
"Lizard hunts Kangaroo" Me : I'll watch that
Had no idea they could run that fast! Nice visual effects
Somehow believe the scenes of the lizard and roo are two separate scenes, there's no actual scene of the lizard and roo in the same scene
The lizard and snake as well.. when it shows both together do not look the same ones.
shooting the lizard and kangaroo together would have been impractical due to the height difference and the terrain, besides the chase might not have brought the lizard close enough to be in the same shot at all.
The dislikes are from Me, African Lions and Spotted Hyenas when we heard that the Lizard is an Apex predator. We could not withstand the embarrassment.
😂😂😂😂
Well that's Australia for you. They don't have large mammalian predators aside from dingo
Australia has no mammalian apex predators because of the Komodo dragon and Megalania( Megalania was a 7 meter long Komodo dragon that weighs around 1500 pounds). Komodo dragons and Megalania were to much for large terrestrial mammals to compete. The only large mammalian was Thilacoleo which was a arboreal marsupial that ambushed prey jumping from the trees. Dingoes didn’t exist until humans brought the here. Australia is the land of reptiles
😂
@ 0:15 Komodo dragons: “Am I a joke to you?”
That lizard just went on a desert buffet
I have seen one Longer than a 2 lane road in width. Very big Reptile. It ran out in front of our 4x4 while we were doing 100km/hr. We got airborne and almost crashed. This happened just outside of Alice Springs. I couldn't believe it .
I never take for granted that I can pick up my food from the local Publix.
Yes
Whatta' beautiful lizard 🦎😍
Everything in Australia is badass.
The head looks literally like a velociraptor
I love these lizards. Nature is harsh and this guy is awesome.
Great table manners too. Lol!!!!!!
The wombats are so adorable!

@Nirvana Who the hell said they were as smart as humans?
Pernti's brain is the size of a peanut. They are stupid reptiles.
I actually never heard of this monitor lizard before
Why did the Parenti give up chasing the Kangaroo? He remembered he had to be at a Parent-Teacher meeting.
I want that lizard 🦎 for a pet. Come every April 15, anybody ask me about my taxes, my 1st instinct would be this: Let me show you my little friend!!
Lol damn
Imagine
Nature at her finest 😁
Not at all, this video had way to many wrong facts and crap information.
i LOL’d when it started going turbo mode
That lizard is a badey! (Too many things in Australia that I wouldn't want to be around😵💫) With exception for the roos. The roos are cute.
2:52 that's how I look at my food
For everyone who is commenting on australias deadly animals. Keep this in perspective. More people die here from horses then any other animal.
Yup even the horses are deadly .. not sure if you've reassured the tourists mate 😂💪🇦🇺
Is there an animal in Australia that doesn't kill? Heck I wouldn't be surprised if you had kamikaze killer birds.
It's really not that daunting here. We have some lovely wildlife here, friendly animals and friendly people. Yeah there's some deadly animals and some disturbing people...just like most countries I guess. Just gotta have ya wits about ya!
@@brirandall2894 I'm not sure I believe ya kzhead.info/sun/h52aYZhosJGliaM/bejne.html 😉💖🇦🇺
Most of the deadly animals live on deserts or in the ocean, plus Australia actually has relatively scarce native wildlife due to mass extinctions, and invasive predators are making it worse. Kangaroos and pythons are the biggest native land animals along with introduced dingoes.
I would've loved to see it get the Kangaroo, Great video 👍👍
25mph for more that half a mile. Imagine actually dinosaurs
I don't think that was ever a kanguroo hunt... Just the film guy editing together two clips of a running perenti with a jumping red kanguroo
I never knew breathing and running was a problem for most lizards.
4:46 It Runs Like Charlie Chaplin :xD
So that's why our Army trucks (Land Rover) were named the Perenti 110? Interesting 😁👍
There is no evidence from the video that he chased the kangaroo. It is highly unlikely.
i also find it highly unlikely these things actually hunt and eat kangaroos i mean its a pretty big lizard but i don't think its nearly big enough to eat a kangaroos
@@evenhartwick4422 they are poisonous as hell though, and that clearly wasnt a fully grown kangaroo.
6:06 "Now darkness, the tables have turned!"
It's like looking at a dinosaur!
The king of lizard? 🙄😂 Wait until komodo dragon come..
Comodo dragon is the king of lizard💥
A perentie would never go after a full grown kangaroo... It would go after a small joey on the ground, which is very unlikely to happen.
Yea
Monitor Lizard: I'mma eat yea bro Kangaroo: Nah fam, I'mma bounce
