I am not dumbass enough like you to sum up a relationship from 1 picture. Cats win the 'numbers game'. The presence of monitors supports their populations rather than limits them. "Monitor lizards apparently control feral cat populations in Australia somewhat" - no - Feral cats threaten many of Australias reptile species - including species of Monitor Lizards. If you dont agree - can you post some counter evidence. You've failed so far ^ ot should be noted that in the everglades the roles are switched and the monitor prey on cats. Domestic or feral. |

Maybe kittens but in no way adult cats. Nice to see a native animal taking out foreign species, but pretty sad at the same time. People release cats all the time in the woods in my areas lucky for my local ecosystem is that the coyotes and (mountain lions?) take them out. I'd imagine in Australia, a place devoid of such predators that feral cats would experience a future of exponential growth...unfortunately. |

As for the monitor vs cat debate between JackLumber and Taipan, can't we just agree that feral cats some times take goannas and sometimes the reserve happens? Weavers (1989) showed that lace goannas Varanus varius take cats as part of their diet and suggested that the reverse might also occur; in such complex situations competition may not be an important interaction and would be difficult to demonstrate. http://secure.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/pubs/impacts-feral-cats.pdf From page 21. |

That was never disputed - however clearly cats take far more monitors than the reverse. The presence on monitors in Australia is clearly of benefit to feral cats. |

When I thought JackLumber was already capable of making a serious and stupid statement, he just proceeded to impress me even more!

"Since they followed boxing protocol as opposed to the bear's preferred combat style of straight up mauling everyone, its teeth and claws were restricted with a muzzle and boxing gloves. And even though the bear went into the ring severely handicapped, Waldorf still lost the fight due to his handicap of not being a bear. http://www.cracked.com/article_19565_9-old-timey-animal-photos-you-wont-believe-are-real.html

T is right monitors reproduce way too slow and grow too slow, so all they would be doing is help boost the cat population. Sure some might fall prey but the ones that fall prey are probably the sick ones or young. The monitor lizard offers a quick easy meal for most adults so it is probably part of the reason that cats are raping the country. To control cats coyotes here are the only ones who can. ANd there are a LOT of coyotes here. Even in a huge city like toronto they did a study and the amount of coyotes here was shocking. These are not true coyotes the western coyote does not exist here anymore if it is it is very rare. THese are coyote/redwolf mixes I think they take the odd raccooon also as well as foxes. I dont think big male coons have any predators because i saw a HUGE one eating with 3 coywolves. The coywolves tipped over the bin and the coon was eating beside them. THey have made such a mess of my place in the past. Fox numbers are also repressed big time boy coyotes I use to see so many foxes growing up. Now it is very rare to see even one. The foxes that do survive usually do in our backyards. If anyone lives in toronto area check out HIGH PARK there are so many coywolves there and some monster sized coons. I live beside the zoo.
