Nov 6, 2009: Diner in Arizona
Nirvana forwarded an email titled “Diner in Arizona”.
Quote:
So what does one do besides forward it to “all” in the address book? I know Google it! “Diner in Arizona” – nothing “Cloudbreak Arizona” – nothing “Diner in Arizona email” – one hit, essentially a copy of the same email, posted online. “Snake eats Goanna” – Bingo! 24,400 hits Here's one. Quote:

I was a little surprised to read about goannas in Arizona. Maybe you have Ogoannas, like with Opossums.

No Goannas and no Pythons in Arizona wilds, except possibly lost pets.

I'm confused None in the wild in Arizona and yet these pictures were shot there? Are you saying it's a hoax? go easy on me, it's Friday (I'll have my lizard-stuffed snake crispy with a goat-cheese dip and a garden salad, thanks.)

This one said AZ, but the lizard is only found in AU/S.E.Asia, and the snake only in AU. So it turns out to be a true story from Australia, not Arizona. There was/is another email(s) going around about a moose being born on someone's lawn. The pictures are real, but the story places it in every northern U.S. state, or Canada, depending on which email you get.

What? No Turducken adaptations?
As for non-indigenous animals in the wild, I think the swamps of Florida is having a pretty big problem with people letting their pet snakes go in the wild. An environment perfect for their livelihood and for breeding, only, the ecosystem there isn't used to another predator... |

Thanks for finding that Bruce! I thought these were cool pictures but I did not think lizards like that existed outside zoos here in the USA. The dirt looks all wrong too. It looks like red clay. I think when people pass around emails its kind of like playing that game called telephone and the real story is interesting.

If the goanna is a monitor, is the snake a merrimack?

Probably, but the email said Diner. I suppose the snake is the diner, in this case.
