Daeodon was probably faster and more agile than the lizard so its not unlikely to assume that its going to get the first bite.
If a four ton elephant can walk with three legs a two thousand pound enteledont should be able to limp with a torn up one.
A meter long skull can cover a lot.

Elephants have thicker legs and much wider feet which would distribute Its weight much more effectivly than daeodon's hooves.

So are you saying that a daeodon cannot stand with just three legs? Megalaina will just cripple it but NOT ripping off a leg of Daeodon.
Is monitor lizards being new "feline" of overrateness? Looks like it.

How do the perenties and lace monitors do when confronted with feral hogs in Australia? Are there any noted interactions between Nile montors and warthogs or other African suids? Do komodo dragons hunt banded pigs?

So you were worrying about Daeodon's "fragile" legs which bovids and suids have basically same skeleton structures of Daeodon. Honesty I see Daeodon has easy time to bites down on Megalaina's skull as it has an advantage over Megalaina. The reason? There will be no ambush situation in this match. Megalania doesn't need an ambush. Daeodon skull: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Daeodon_skull.jpgMegalania skull: Not when you have teeth as huge as these. If daeodon puts its head near megalania's mouth it's going to get its face torn up. @super communist: Faster than Megalania, perhaps. More agile? Perhaps not. At any rate monitor lizards are no snails like many think them to be. Torn up as in, all the tendons, muscles, and arteries are severed and Daeodon is experiencing heavy bleeding. And if Daeodon is just limping around, it's dead. A meter long skull can cover a lot...on an animal that's on average about 16 feet? Perhaps not.

Do komodo dragons hunt banded pigs? Komodos eat pretty much everything on those islands. The only thing I can find with warthogs and niles is some pics of a guy feeding a road kill monitor to a warthog. Wild boar are known to eat eggs and young lace monitors.

I remember one of my neighbours would always tell a rather far fetched sounding story of a perentie taking down his prized hog. I don't know that validity of this claim.
But Megalania should be able to take this, if a komodo can snare the head of a buffalo, and come off unharmed, then Meg should be able to grab this pig's head in its jaws.

Really? that sounds iffy to me. I have read that they have taken grey kangaroos but I assumed that it was joeys.

My neighbour said the monitor snared the hog by the hind legs retreated behind the fence, and went in for another attack before he scared it off. The pig died the next day from blood loss. I doubt the claim myself, as Perenties aren't known for killing large prey. But something certainly killed my neighbours pig, as he had pictures of the dead animal's mutilated body. I would put my money on a dingo as opposed to a perentie, but I guess it's possible.

When you hear about whole packs failing to take out a perentie, I just doubt a single dingo would have the balls for that.

Some individuals are more gusty than others, and although I don't consider for a moment that an attack like this would happen often. But I think a dingo has more potential to kill a large pig than a perentie does.

It would help if you could get your hands on those pictures, Dingoes dont kill via ankle bites (due to there hieght it doesnt make sense to go for the ankles).

apperently perenties will go for piglets when they can.

Poor pig. But hey, everything has to eat, or at least make an attempt to.
