NEWS: Komodo Heartbreak

CULTURE: Komodo Heartbreak

A ten-year-old Komodo Dragon has died after falling off a 8-foot partition separating her from her mate.

Somehow, I think we all empathize with Nina.

Somehow, the idea of a lovesick komodo dragon falling to their death is really, really funny.

And it's death from internal bleeding, and the title is 'Komodo Heartbreak'... I'd better leave before I lol.

damn, i think this should be moved to Current Events, where the really newsworthy stories belong.

This is so sad.

aw, no komodo love....

wow. maybe i'm a sentimental, love sick kinda guy who can relate but yeah... it is sad and not funny at all. of course i gotta wonder was the dragon really lovesick or just horny. either way i think weve all taken that fatal step...

That's really sad.

Sad, they probably woulda bred well since she was so eager already. Ahh well.

Was he worth it?



This is Raja the object of her desire.

Kinda funny.

sigh

Do lizards listen to emo?

Nah.. komodos are too busy eating German tourists... in the wild, at least....

(Trivia: The teeth of a Komodo dragon are identical in structure to those of a Tyrannosaurus rex. The serrations hold bits of meat from kills, which serve as a breeding ground for bacteria... giving the reptile an infectious bite.)

What's really bad is they had already coaxed her down from that same wall before.

aw, that's so sad...but kinda funny too.

apparently, komodo's can sometimes procreate for 24hrs, and it is also known for a male komodo to dismount the female mid-coitus to fight off a male rival, and then hop straight back on.

so maybe he was just lookin for some all-day lovin?

But...Komodos are horrible monsters!!!

it's not easy being green.

Aww, thats so sad.

Aww...thats the saddest story I've ever heard!

Maybe she wouldn't have went for it if he weren't putting out the vibe.
