EDITORS COMMENTS
Perentie's Super Sniffer: When it comes to smelling success, this giant lizard takes the cake! Meet our very own detective of scents, the Perentie from Alice Springs. With its impressive forked tongue in action, this reptilian wonder is on a mission to sniff out all the tantalizing aromas that surround it. From hidden treats to potential prey, nothing escapes the keen senses of this Australian superstar. Captured by photographer Steven David Miller at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre, this print showcases nature's incredible design. The Perentie's intricate olfactory system allows it to detect even the faintest whiffs with precision and finesse. It's no wonder they call it a 'super sniffer'! As one of Australia's largest monitor lizards, Varanus giganteus certainly lives up to its name both in size and talent. Its majestic presence and remarkable ability make for an awe-inspiring sight that leaves us marveling at Mother Nature’s creations. So next time you find yourself wondering who has the ultimate sense of smell, remember our friend here – the mighty Perentie! Just don't challenge them to a sniff-off; we guarantee they'll win every time.
