Komodo dragon's attack
Two people have been hurt after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into a wildlife park office in Indonesia.
The six-foot dragon attacked a Komodo National Park ranger, then attacked another employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali.
Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.

They actually are the largest venomous lizards. They have venom in their salivary gland which is squeezed out when they bite. The venom reduces the blood pressure of victims and makes the victim tire more easily, making it easier for the clumsy komodo to eat it's prey alive

Their bite is terrible. They host deadly bacteria in their saliva to infect and kill bitten prey.

Good job they weren't in Malta - there would be a lot less than 4000 here!
