    When my kids were still Cub Scout aged, we built bat houses (instead of birdhouses) to try that out. No bat ever decided to inhabit mine.

    can someone please help me find the driveway video of a guy going outside and then immediately turning around to safety when a giant elk (i think an elk) runs through the road?

    My mother has tried to get bats in bat house on my parents’ property for years and can’t. They only want to live in their chimney.

    Komodo dragons can get to 10 feet long and they can run at 20 kilometers an hour. When they bite a prey the prey is paralyzed due to the venom and they just eat them.

    Also

    « Occasionally, they attack and bite humans. Sometimes they consume human corpses, digging up bodies from shallow graves.[34] This habit of raiding graves caused the villagers of Komodo to move their graves from sandy to clay ground, and pile rocks on top of them, to deter the lizards.«

    Sharon Stone’s ex-husband got bit by one when they were still together. Think it happened at a zoo and he had to have surgery on his foot.

    Lol apparently the zookeeper had him REMOVE his shoes so the dragon wouldn’t mistake them for the white rats they’d been fed.

    Step 5: Run in a Zig-Zag Pattern
    You couldn’t resist being noisy. Now an angry Komodo dragon is charging at you. The good news is that you might be able to outrun it. The dragons can speed up to 21 km/h (13 mph), but not for long. So give it all you’ve got, and you might escape. If you’re not a fast runner, you’re tired, or the dragon is close enough to lunge at you, this tip could save your life. Komodo dragons can only run straight ahead. So run in a zigzag pattern, and the dragon will stop chasing you.

    Seems like a lot of animals can't handle the zig zag patterns. Sounds like a glitch in the matrix to me.

    I'm not sure how much I buy this - they're a lot more nimble than an alligator/croc.

    They're definitely straight-line sprinters but I feel like they make turns pretty damn well based on the videos I've seen.

    I had a nile monitor and that thing could do 360s basically.

    As T-TMBMB’s premiere hot dog authority I must say that sometimes ketchup on a dog is warranted and an acceptable condiment
