5 People Rescued From Komodo Dragon Island

Five European divers were diving in very dangerous waters near Indonesia. Somehow they ended up stranded in the water for 36 hours and then they washed ashore on an island. This island, called Rinca Island, just happened to be a reserve island for "aggressive monitor lizards, the largest in the world, that often feast in packs and can kill beasts as large as buffalo." They stayed there two nights and had to fight off a Komodo Dragon! AHHHHHHHHH. Here is the whole article.

I would like to point out one particular comment at the bottom of the article:

"If they were from Texas, they would all have come off that island with several pair of lizard boots."

...if they were from Texas...they'd come back with lizard boots....

For real?!? Anyways, a cool article.
