That man-eating tiger had been badly hurt and had broken canines; people were the only thing it could prey upon with regular success.

Pretty common scenario for carnivores in the wild; if they are elderly, injured or both, they look for the prey they can outrun or catch easily. People make great targets.

That's why you should always take someone with you who's slower than you when you go exploring in the wild.

Slight incontinence of the slower subject is also helpful for fellow travellers, that is how these guys find their prey.



Nature has everything planned out.

And that Komodo dragon must be striving for a corporate career. I can just see him going places, an adaptable little critter.

I can't even tell what's happening there, and it's lunchtime besides so I don't really wanna try to figure it out, but thanks for wearing your national obsession on your sleeve.

I'm sorry, Jake, more an ALARMING than an ALAMY stock photo really.

Thinking about it though, the lizard picture kinda sums this forum up: natural curiosity coupled with scientific depth. I know Dave approves.

No, Mark, you can't keep Komodo dragons as pets. They're protected in all their innocence.

Gives entirely new meaning to the band name "Imagine Dragons."
