Slayer Dragon


Since yesterday was dedicated to Dragon Slayers, I thought today's post should be dedicated to Slayer Dragons. Komodo dragons are actually giant lizards that can weigh up to 150 pounds and grown 10 feet long! Some authorities say there are only 4,000 dragons left in the wild except attacks on people have increased, no decreased. A poor man fell out of an apple tree when he was picking fruit. Two dragons mauled him to death. An 8-year old boy was also killed a few years ago by KD's. A park ranger was sleeping in his bed when one of the KD's came in his bedroom and started chewing on him. There have been other attacks on humans reported in the last months. Besides a wicked bite, they have sharky kind of teeth and 50 different bacteria strains in their spit, so you can become infected and die from a single bite. There are no dragons in our country, only eastern Indonesian Islands. I don't think that is near my street.
