Filmed at exhibit with curator. Asian Water Monitor (Various salvator) tracks food using tongue to find a wide range of prey. In this video, filmed on June 25, 2007, a demonstration of a monitor lizard's ability to "scent prey" -- that is, to find prey by smelling the air with his tongue first, and then eyes to find as monitors eat carrion -- or to follow/track, dispatch, and consume. Monitor lizards are fascinating, and nature's disposal system!
