I never know whether I am happy or sad that a new species has been found. On the one hand perhaps it will get better protection on the other it will attract the collectors. mmm 
Anyway beautiful animal to say the least

Cool! A fruit eating monitor sized lizard. Wild.
What’s not to like? 
I bet I know what the tribesman was thinking…
This is going to make a seriously good [wikipedia]inihaw[/wikipedia], especially with all that fruit I saw it stuffing itself with before I clubbed it over the head
See! I told ya 
Should we move this to the Food forum?

yeah and now it has been discovered there will be a new demand in Chinese restaurants as well as rich western reptile collectors. That is why I commented on its discovery by western science as a double edged sword.
there’s another undescribed new species of giant lizard hiding in my underpants.
no Chinese person’s going to eat that one. No, wait a minute…
