Alligator??? Crocodile??? Komodo Dragon???

[Sean Setters]

My guess--a rock.

[ShutterbugJohan]

Lizard with very small feet and long tail?


Edit: I'm grasping at straws. [:O]

[TheRoff]

Looks like a side-winder rattle snake to me. I very big side-winder rattle snake.

That was my first instinct too, but then I remembered that a sidewinder's tracks don't look like that. Their body skims across the sand leaving two separate impressions on each end of its body as it moves diagonally.


And then I saw the tag too... ;-)

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"]<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]All good attempts guys and gals but we still don&rsquo;t have a winner. [:P]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] Another hint, I live in outback Queensland, <st1:country-region><st1:place>Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>.[:^)]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"]<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]I was going to keep you in suspense a bit longer but can&rsquo;t do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] It was in fact the tracks from a Goanna, or to be precise a Goulds Goanna (The sand monitor) these little guys eat pretty much anything and can grow over six feet in length.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] This one was about four feet long and pretty slow, until he saw me, camera shy I think.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] Thank you all for your participation, hope you enjoyed it. If you look close on the right side you can just make out where he put his foot down.<o:p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]</o:p>

I was gonna go with 'Oprah'

[btaylor]

Scott, where do you live mate? I'm also out west in Mount Isa, land of the long white sulphur cloud.

[Scott]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"]<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"]Big smoke stack and sulphur haze, I remember it well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] I&rsquo;m a little bit East of you then mate, about two and a half hours West of Bundaberg a little, very little town called Eidsvold.

[btaylor]

Yep I know Eidsvold, just a little bit east [:P], I have family in Bargara. Good to see some more Aussies on here anyway. Maybe I don't have to translate from Aussie slang into normal english for all these Northern Hemispherites so much then.
