I don't think you can compare a cumingi who is on the verge of losing the name salvator and becoming its own species to a common salvator.
I also don't think it's fair to compare an adult to juveniles with regards to body shape.
I agree that it looks big and fat, but I've seen plenty of wild adult specimens that look huge like that. a great example was on the Jeff Corwin show. He walked up on one that was laying on a beach that was massive. easily the size of the one pictured above.

| Shay, you have to be careful not to confuse TV with reality. Often those personality driven wildlife programs will use someone's pet - especially if said personality has little difficulty approaching it, despite it being a supposedly 'wild' animal - or do the filming in an area where the animals live on handouts (which explains both its obesity and relative calm in the presence of the personality and his entire film crew). |

Why are you posting pictures without asking permission or at least giving people credit for their photos? Good reminder of why I watermark my photos now, thank you.
