Talk:Wagyl

Megafauna
I would dispute the inclusion of megafauna as inspiration for the Wagyl. It seems a bit irreverent. Fred.e 13:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Why Fred, the megafauna show up inAboriginal stories right across Australia. Wanambee was the name of the Rainbow serpent at the site where it was first discovered.  Its rainbow colouration seems to have been a distinctive camouflage colouration for a riverine ambush predator who lived in water bodies.


 * Its association with the Waugyl is sound and suggested by Tim Flannery amongst others. John D. Croft (talk) 05:31, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

 * 1) Does it deserve its own separate article
 * 2) Could it be made more explicit in the first sentence


 * Its the Rainbow Serpent. Betterkeks (talk) 08:45, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , the Rainbow Serpent [or the waugyl]. Context and landscape are the first things that come to mind, but citing literature on the warkal is what we have. cygnis insignis 14:47, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Diamond Backed Python
I was also under the impression that the carpet python, as in the Bibbulmun symbol was known as the land (as distinct from the water) Waugl. 120.149.52.145 (talk) 03:23, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
