Savannah Monitor
Global Cuts
The Savannah Monitor in the wild can weigh five to five and a half kilograms, yet in captivity it is often found weighing over six kilograms. In the wild, the average length of this Monitor is of approximately 1 to 1.5 meters. Adults Savannah Monitor in the wild will eat birds, snakes, snails, small mammals, and even carrion. Due to their undeveloped sharp teeth, yet keeping with their carnivorous diet, juveniles will eat an assortment of insects.
Savannah monitors are hard to find in the wilderness, especially close up. So we visited a reptile expert outside Stockholm and got what we needed. This collection includes multi-angle footage of a monitor doing his thing. Like dining on mice. These clips might take some posting, but it could be well worth the effort.
This Savannah monitor footage is shot with a Canon XL-1 camcorder and is supplied in flattened QuickTime format. It is shot and captured in DV-PAL format dimensions, 720 x 576 pixels, at a frame rate of 25 fps. Visit Site
