Goanna attacks swimming echidna

Don't you just hate it when a wannabe velociraptor interupts your relaxing bath time? This young inexperienced echidna relaxes in the water for over an hour, even dozing off with his vulnerable underside exposed, until an opportunistic goanna (lace monitor) makes a grab. I don't really know what the goanna was thinking though - there is no way he could actually swallow an echidna and live to tell the tale. Eventually the goanna realises that grabbing an echidna is one thing, but holding onto it is quite another.
