best animal friends

We watched a TV show once about a car salesman from Newark, DE who lived in a studio apartment with a Kimodo dragon that he let run loose. It ate him.

Wait. What?

I'm sorry - not a Kimodo dragon. SEVEN Kimodo dragons.

Also my college boyfriend lived in that apartment complex.

Wait monitor lizards! Sorry. Whatever point is some dude in Delaware was eaten by lizards.

HORRIFYING

eh, no worse than cats

Pretty sure a cat would eat you if you were already dead. Though keeping massive lizards AND cats is what freaked me out about that story - hopefully they were separated somehow b/c I bet a monitor could kill a cat.

Yeah there was a story about a dude that died alone in his apartment and wasn't found for a couple weeks and when he was his two pugs, who were starving by that point, had started eating him. :(

this is because cats are considerate.

just for the record, i don't think you can really domesticate a komodo dragon

A variety of behaviors have been observed from captive specimens. Most individuals are relatively tame within a short time, and are capable of recognizing individual humans and discriminating between familiar keepers.

Even seemingly docile dragons may become unpredictably aggressive, especially when the animal's territory is invaded by someone unfamiliar. In June 2001, a Komodo dragon seriously injured Phil Bronstein, the then husband of actress Sharon Stone, when he entered its enclosure at the Los Angeles Zoo after being invited in by its keeper. Bronstein was bitten on his bare foot, as the keeper had told him to take off his white shoes and socks, which the keeper stated could potentially excite the Komodo dragon as they were the same color as the white rats the zoo fed the dragon. Although he escaped, Bronstein needed to have several tendons in his foot reattached surgically.

Mary Provost did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her loneiy nest
In the cheap hotel up
on Hollywood West July 29
She'd been lyin' there
for two or three weeks
The neighbors said
they never heard a squeak
For hungry eyes that couid not speak
Said even little doggie's have got to eat

She was a winner
The became the doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
(But now I see) Oh poor Mary
