I don’t think there is a single animal as misunderstood as these. Sure they’re gory predators, but that doesn’t make them any worse than traditionally cute things like bears and wild dogs. They’re pretty docile and there’s a lot of myths about the toxicity of their bite and how they hunt

> SAMUEL S. SWEET AND ERIC R. PIANKA REPLY: We based our statement about monitor counting on recent experiments on captive white-throated monitors (Varanus albigularis) by John Phillips, an investigator at the San Diego Zoo. A lizard was fed snails in groups of four. Each snail was placed in a separate compartment connected to three others within a chamber, and the compartments were opened one at a time to allow the monitor to eat the four snails. On finishing the fourth snail, the lizard was allowed into another chamber containing four more snails.
>After such conditioning, one snail was removed from some snail quartets. The lizard reacted by searching extensively tier the missing fourth snail, even when it was free to move on to the next group. Similar experiments with yawing numbers of snails in the groups showed that the monitors can count up to six. With groups larger than six, however, the monitors seemed to stop counting: they merely classified them as "lots," eating them all before moving on to the next chamber. Such an ability to count probably evolved as a consequence of raiding nests of reptiles, birds, and mammals, because the average clutch or litter size is about six.
It was a white throat and not a savannah but the same still applies
Anonymous No.5035612 >>5035695

Fun fact: Most humans can only "instinctively count" to 4 or so. Higher numbers require the mind to make conscious intervention in its own processes. Innate counting ability isn't actually general intelligence, consciousness, etc, it's a hardware skill like extra short term memory or faster visual processing that can enhance consciousness but doesn't imply it.

Particularly lucky humans have an innate comprehension of the number seven. Most people comprehend seven as four and three.

That specific one isn’t. It happened on a mine site. The Komodo dragon videos are frequently staged because they’re easy to do and get views. Komodo dragons are everywhere on the islands so it doesn’t take long to set up and catch a lizard’s attention. Perenties are few and far between so the chances somebody is going to catch a feral cat and hold onto it until they see a perentie are pretty slim

Problem with these is that they aren't retard proof as dogs/cats.
You gotta respect it, and lizard will respect you back.
If you act like a retard around cats nothing really happens(unless we talk big cats like tigers), but if you are asshole to these guys they can kill you.

It's because they are common enough.
Every kid has had a hamster, so nobody is afraid of them, but throw a mouse in the room, and everyone loses their shit.
I hope that the new generation that is on the internet 24/7 has seen enough cute reptile videos to change their view, so the "not dog/cat therefore bad" boomer view will finally end.

That’s fine because there are next to no Komodo dragons in private hands and those that are usually die before they grow large. Most people who have one have a smuggled baby dragon so any attack is deserved
