5/21/2015 2 Varanus Albigularis Ionidesi and 1 Varanus Dumerilii going after the same chick

2 Black Throat Monitor Lizards and 1 Dumeril's Monitor going after the same chick.

 

Each monitor had its own chick to eat, but when the Blackthroats saw the Dumeril's Start to eat the chick they decided they wanted that particular chick as well.

 

I started to pull them apart because I was concerned they would injure each other, but they were content to take their piece of the spoils. They ate 3 chicks together, the Dumeril's ate an additional chick, one of the Blackthroats ate an additional 2 chicks, and the other Blackthroat ate 3 additional chicks.
