Komodo Dragons tired of putting up with human's bullshit.
This is the part that kills me: Gone are the days of goofing around with the lizards, poking their tails, hugging their backs and running in front of them, pretending they're being chased, said Muhamad Saleh, who has worked with the animals since 1987.
Gee, the modern-day dinosaurs with the toxin-filled mouths are not something to be disrespected and fucked with? The hell you say!
I respectfully maintain that if humans could stop bogarting land from apex predators, or wiping out their food supplies, or poaching them, or terrorizing them for fun or profit, that they might leave us the hell alone. It's very, very unusual for a healthy, well-fed, animal to barge into human territory and start attacking people. But if you invite yourself into an animal's home turf, well...he's gonna know his territory a lot better than you.
That having been said, Komodo Dragons are wicked awesome!
