Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Die plakkaat meld die volgende: "'n Noodlottige feesmaal: Die Perentie-likkewaan (Varanus giganteus) bewoon Australië se sentrale en westelike woestyne. Dié 2,5 meter lange akkedis is Australië se grootste. Perenties is aktiewe roofdiere, maar sal ook aas wanneer die geleentheid hom voordoen. Ons sal nooit weet of die likkewaan die mierysterdier gevang of net op die karkas afgekom het nie. Hoe dit ook al sy, die eindresultaat was 'n onvermoë om dit af te sluk of uit te spoeg, en die arme akkedis het aan die stekelmaal verstik. Die dooie, verstrengelde roofdier en prooi is toe deur die woestynson gemummifiseer. Die sonderlinge uitstalling is voor 1912 deur die Queensland-museum bekom en vertoon."
English: The placard reads the following: "A fatal feast: The Perentie (Varanus giganteus) inhabits Australia's central and western deserts. At 2.5 metres, it is our largest lizard. Perenties are active predators but will also scavenge if the opportunity permits. We will never know if this goanna captured the Echidna or chanced upon its carcass. Either way, the end result is the same. Unable to swallow or disgorge, this unfortunate lizard choked on its spiny meal. Locked together, predator and prey died, then mummified under the desert sun. This curious exhibit was acquired and displayed by the Queensland Museum prior to 1912." |
