And Finally... Komodo Dragons attack and kill man
Two Komodo dragons have killed a man picking fruit in Indonesia.
The two lizards pounced, as 31-year-old Muhamad Anwar fell from a sugar-apple tree, biting his hands, body, legs and neck.
Doctors tried in vain to save him but he later died in hospital.
The incident on Komodo, one of three islands in eastern Indonesia, is the latest in a string of deadly attacks by the lizards.
Growing up to 10 feet long and weighing as much as 150 pounds, Komodo dragons are the world's largest lizard. Attacks on human are rare but have increased recently.
A park ranger survived an attack last month and an eight-year-old boy was killed in an attack in 2007.
The recent mauling occurred on the back of Indonesia celebrating the birth of 32 Komodo dragons at its Surabaya Zoo.
