What is a Megalania? Does it still exist?

What is a Megalania?

Megalania is a very large goanna or giant monitor lizard. They were part of a megafaunal assemblage that inhabited southern Australia during the Pleistocene. They seem to have disappeared between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago. Scientists believe that they still exist because the latest megalania fossil that have been found was predicted to be the bone of a living megalania 300 years ago. Many sightings starts to appear, australians believe that Megalanias are still out there. They are believed to hunt Humans.
Early estimates placed the length of the largest individuals at 7 m (23 ft), with a maximum weight of approximately 600–620 kg (1,320–1,370 lb). However, more recent and more rigorous studies give very different results from one another. Scientists estimate the length of Megalanias to be 4-5 metres long.

PROOF/SIGHTINGS

In 1979, biologist Frank gordon saw what he thought was a log near his vehicle. After turning the engine on, the log scampered off. It ended up being some sort of 30 foot long lizard. 
Another report of the Megalania involves a farmer whom observed a giant lizard walking along the edge of his farm...where the fenceposts were. Using the fenceposts as guides, he estimated the lizard to be around 25 feet.

In new guinea in the 1960s, a french priest was traveling with a native. Suddenly, they spotted a huge lizard lying on a fallen tree bathed in the sun. Scared out of their minds, the two turned around and headed back where they came. Later the next day, the priest came back and measured the log...it was 40 feet long...and the lizard had stretched the entire length of it.

Add these reports to the fact that recent Megalania bones have been dated to be only 300 years old and that Rex Gordon, an expert on the Megalania took plaster castings of some 30 footprints that match a Megalania almost exactly...and you've got yourself quite a mystery.

See this for yourself and proof if this is real or not. I, myself believe that this creature is still roaming around. 
Here are some websites and videos that supports Megalania's proof of existence. I also put links for Megalania information so everybody can analyze.
