This is what happens when people don’t have the right to keep and bear arms. If there had originally been Komodo dragons in America, our gggrandparents would have wiped them out, and rightly so! Nowadays snowflakes would give them protected species protections.

Do they shed their tails like other lizards?

How long does it take to regrow the tail?

What does the tail taste like?

Can they be farmed for lizard tail meat without killing them?

Good LORD!! I've seen pics of them before but never had a sense of perspective of scale until now.

Those are NOT terrarium lizards.

They did with the pterodactyls, called Thunderbirds by the Indians.

Their skin must be good for something, meanwhile btwn The Most Venomous Scorpion in North America and 26-Year-Old Man Killed in Shark Attack Off Santa Cruz County Coast and Great White Sharks Return to the Shores of Seacliff State Beach you are distracting viewers from COVIDgeddon and Climate Change!

As it later turned out, a cleaner had left the door open and the Komodo dragon had come in overnight looking for food.

How do they know that he came in looking for food?

He told them.

“I’m looking for food,” he said.

“and you’re it,” he said.

I’ve suspected for some time that perhaps this is how T.Rex took down big prey: Inflict a horrific bite that infects the prey, track it as the prey weakens or succumbs, easy dining for a week.

“And I think this is a problem for me.”

Very understated. Oh yeah, I want to work in a place like “Rattlesnake National Park”.

Great routine. Interviewer not listening to anything the interviewee says.
