A rare Komodo Dragon has mauled a boy to death on an island that is part of the Komodo national park in eastern Indonesia, police said Monday. | How rare can they be if you named the park and the island after them? |
Mansur, nine, was taking a crap pooping defecating in a bush area on Komodo island on Saturday when he was attacked by a Komodo Dragon, Manggarai barat district police chief Buce Hello told AFP. | And here I worry about running out of toilet paper.... |
"The Komodo attacked him, bit him and tossed him around, and only released him after villagers came and threw stones at it," Hello said.
"[Sniff! Sniff!] What's that awful smell? Egad! That human is launching butt rockets emptying his backside defecating in my territory! Take [chomp!] that, y'smelly brat!"
"Aaaaiiiieeee! I have been bit on the heinie by a komodo dragon! Help! Help!" |
The island, one of the largest in the Komodo national park, has no medical clinic and the boy, a local villager, died shortly after the attack, he said. | I've seen them on the science channel, Komodos mouths are full of some of the worse bacteria in the world. Likely that's what killed the poor kid |
The park and the western and northern coastlines of neighbouring Flores island are the natural habitats of the giant Komodo Dragon, which is the world's largest monitor lizard.
The lizard can grow up to three metres in length and weigh up to 140 kilograms. There are an estimated 3000 Komodo Dragons remaining in the park and surrounding areas, and although they are known to be vicious and aggressive, fatal attacks on humans are rare. |
