Hi, American here. I have cats but otherwise its the exact same scene, see it almost every day. Just glad they keep the rodent population down. I'd love to introduce some monitors to compete but my wife can't do reptiles XD
I remember going to some park with my dad when I was really young and seeing a woman beating a snake with a stick to rescue a frog that was in the process of being swallowed. My dad was visibly annoyed with the woman, and that's when he explained to me how predators need to eat other animals, that's just how things go. Glad to see this little girl's (What is she, four? Five?) parents aren't spoon-feeding her any crap about the whole circle of life deal.
That's a radically different circumstance. The rabbit is a harmful invasive species to australia that needs to be exterminated, hence the needed lack of compassion for it here. What this commenter is spewing is base nihilism and defeatism. Their parents raised them wrong.
I think this takes place in Austraila? In that case, go monitor! Rabbits are such an immense pest there and are killing off a lot of the native plants.
@@Mothobius well, they are now part of the ecosystem like it or not. There's no reason to be such an asshole to them, it's ok for predators to hunt them but some people's extreme hate is disgusting and sick. It's not the rabbits fault it is "invasive", it was humans.
@@slashclaw8781 but the thing is they have ruined the ecosystem. I dont hate rabbits. But I also know that in the wild invasive species are not a good thing. I want you to go and say that for all the iguanas in Florida. Say they are part of the ecosystem. As cool as rabbits are they don't do good for the other herbivores in Australia.
It's so incredibly pathetic to see the state of anthropomorphism in the comment sections of really good videos of carnivorous animals, like this healthy Monitor Lizard. At least the majority of people in the comment section seem to understand how nature works. A great video sir... Thanks for having the stones to post it despite the wave of milquetoast snowflakes who invariably show the watching world how sad and small their lives are when they post their comments.
As much as rabbits are hated and maligned in Australia and understandably so they are actually a saving grace to many of Australia's large monitors and snakes replacing or supplementing the marsupials they once preyed on which are now either scarce or extinct thanks to feral cats and foxes!
Then the hatred is dumb if they are actually helping predators thrive. It's not the rabbits fault it is "invasive", they just trying to live their life.
AT around 40-41 seconds when the Iguana lashes the baby rabbits head at the post, the rabbit makes a noise, did it break teh rabbist neck or summit, it looked bloody painful whatever it did!! Cool video though, very interesting to see how it kills the prey, very strong jaw, tight grip on prey.
Well, I can't say "poor rabbit" because I'll have to say "poor chickens" everytime I go for dinner. The lizard has even more right to have a meal then me, at least it doesn't burn up dead dinosaur fat.
@missjoker911 CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY EAT! Lizard are carnivores! Just because something is cute doesn't make it exempt from being prey. NATURE NOT TORTURE! Big difference.
@missjoker911 if he had saved the bunny then the livard would starve, is that fair to the lizard which is just doing its best to live each day. If the rabbit has anyone to blame its its ancesters for evolving into such a low on food chain animal. Or itself rabbits can run really fast, faster than the lizard can.
Vergil the legendary dark slayer yeah very True on that one just gonna have to come down under an visit one of these days an make some new Friends haha cheers
@@SaturnineXTS I was not referring to the success of other species predating on them but to the fact that like us they are successfull at infesting the earth
Rabbit vs Monitor ??? Pleasssss...don't expect rabbits to offer any resistance. It is a pathetic dumbass animal existing as food for other animals!! WTF ...it cant even outrun a monitor!!
True, but my family has had experience with unusual pets. My grandma's garden is full of turtles of various sizes and my aunt used to have an alligator.
My family used to have one of the rarest animal friends and at least their interaction was truly remarkable!And that was a Siberian tiger Neron that lived in the same house with grandad and his wife and just 3 year older than Neron,their daughter-my mother!By the way also he was obviously friendly towards humans especially his family and especially grandad to whom he was entirely devoted to the very last bit,but the same time this didn't mean that he was peaceful and soft big cat:his only other animals that he was friendly with were females,which he was regularly taken to the zoo where he was once born to date those and in this way to get good for both zoo authorities and to grandad because when Neron matured the long time without a female made him actually the same as happens with house cat males that are not neutered,yet the only difference was that Neron at full volume of his roar(the fast but the loudest sound that any feline can produce-similar to caugh!)-he was actually twice causing people's ears bleeding and once there was a story with neighbour's dog,which ended up with neighbour being warned that if the next day early in the morning once again his bitch will start the same crap the next morning-Neron will take care of this crap himself-very fast and forever-so the next morning as they all woke up the same way-grandad simply went outside with Neron and told him:"you can do that!"-and so not only the dog shut up forever in less than 5 seconds after those words but Neron's roar right before crushing it's scull damaged glass in window in front of the doghouse!So quite a bad thing if he would have been calling for female outside😁 Anyway all the others were either his meal which I mean were regularly becoming his meal as he hunted local wildlife in nearby forests(yes,grandad obviously taught him to hunt for prey and did that even better than a tigress would have done because he added many of advanced tips and tricks for his attempts to be more successful:for example,he made twice a neat killing spree on packs of wolves that didn't get the point when he roared at them so they lost about 5 members on spot at less than 10 seconds and 3 more were chased down and killed upon fleeing!By the way unlike lynx and bobcat that he deemed to be something that he must kill but not eat-with wolves that was otherwise)-so was how their relationship looked like!And I will anyway get myself a Siberian tiger cub and raise him or her as a family member and hunting comrade as well as grandad once did! Anyway no matter where you live but even if you can't keep exotics-there is still a solution!Because currently in no single country where people are prohibited from keeping the strongest and biggest of feline family:those cats are not classified as neither of prohibited groups of animals because they don't exist and never existed in the wild and the first one of them was born in the end of 19th century!And I am about ligers!And more than that:not only it's legal to own anywhere on earth but also they are the easiest to keep without any issues because although they are most powerful of all feline species and can kill any of the animals that exist and do that alone-but the same time if you keep one of them since a cub-you are totally safe in presence of this Goliath that overpowers and outweighs any of lions and tigers ever existed!Because the same time they are not only biggest and strongest-they are also nearly lacking aggression and are completely friendly towards anyone who they live with as cubs!And if you also train that Goliath to hunt for prey-there will be no any such a big game that will not be killed by him:polar bears will be actually hard thing but that is because ligers also lack fur(not completely but still they never get as much fur as Siberians-not more than a quarter of that,even if born from barbary lion and Siberian tigress) and in polar bear habitat will freeze to death in about 20 minutes!

Good riddance. Rabbits are a real pest out in Australia.
Thank you small child of unknown gender, for the most logical reasoning ever. "Why is he doing that?"
"He's hungry!"
It was pleasant to see how the parents reacted to this as an opportunity for their daughter to learn about nature.
I can't believe it was able to eat something that much larger than its head. That's super impressive.
That's what having a separately hinged jaw does for you.
Rabbits are not that large. Their size is all fluff.
Meh...I do it almost daily...
Such a Gorgeous animal... Australia has got to have some of the prettiest monitors out there.
Glad to see someone respecting nature... had that been in the US the property owners would be freaking out
