Here I am. Clay made me turn my back on the Komodo dragons for this photo. It seemed like a very foolish idea and then this happened.
I found some video Clay shot of a Komodo Dragon on the move. Very creepy with tongue action! That dragon tried to start a dragon fight and the other video actually has audio of the dragons hissing. Terrifying! Spoiler: the dragons did not fight while we were there. They laid back down. Whew!
This day goes in my character-building column of life experiences under face your worst fears. Go walking on an island inhabited by giant carnivorous lizards: Check!
Sorry I couldn't load the videos directly here. They exceeded the file size limit so you'll have to click the hot links below and wait for each to load. It may take a minute.
