        This might explain quite a bit. Instead of being comparable to 
dinosaurs, then, Megalania would be comparable to the giant crocs, and 
Wonambi, a huge anaconda (BTW does anyone know anything about giant 
sea-snakes?I seem to recall hearing something about them somewhere).

         But how does Geochelone fit into all this?
