WANTED: Photo of a Kimberley tristis

[Nephrurus]

Does anybody have, or have access to or even know the whereabouts of a photo of a Varanus tristis from the kimberley region? Photos of northern WA or Western NT animals would probably be helpful.

If so, I'd like a look! i don't want to use it in any publication or anything like that, i'd just like a look. Post it on here if you like. If you've encountered them on your travels and have taken a picture, I'd like to see it. If you've got animals that have "originated" from that region, a pic of them would be good as well!


All the best,

Sorry mate, havent got that far yet. Could probably ask a friend to take some pics of a Pilbara animal if your keen though.

A pilbara animal would be good..... not the best, but close enough i reckon

If you could email that to me, it would be grand!

Theres a couple of juvenile Pilbara pics amongst Dean's pics. Worth having a look through the rest of his pics too, hes taken some unreal shots.
