DESCRIPTION
A perentie is a big lizard that lives in the desert. The perentie is the biggest lizard in Australia. You can eat it. It has yellow spots and it can run fast. Perenties eat smaller lizards.

HABITAT
It lives in woodlands, near creeks and on the sides of hills. The soil is usually sandy. Perenties are found just walking around, in trees and in burrows.

HUNTING AND COOKING
When the perentie is in the hole you have to dig it out. When you have got it by the tail you have to pull it hard and when it lets go you knock it on the head, then you break its legs, then you cut its guts open and pull its guts out. Then you put it in the hot coals. When there is blood coming out from its back it is cooked.
