    Re: Fatality by Komodo dragon

    wow:eek: well i wouldnt want to be that kid! It's a shame that these type of things have to be shown around the world because it just keeps adding to the neg. rep. that reptiles already have. But very interesting article, for me its pretty surprising that they havent had one bad encounter with these lizards for 33 YEARS that really surprises me.

    Yeah, that would not be a way I would want to go.....

    I think thats awsome that 33 years have passed without incident, doesn't look bad on the Komodo's part.

    Just to bad this happened.

    Wow thats intense, i feel bad for the kid and the family, i couldn't imagine being seen by a prey animal as nothing more than a mouse.

    Holy tap dancing Jesus! Poor kid! Man, I do not want to live in Indonesia. Cobras in the toilet and komodos in your bushes doesn't sound too fun. :eek:
