WEST MANGGARAI (THE JAKARTA POST/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - A 50-year-old tourist from Singapore was attacked by a Komodo dragon in southern Indonesia on Wednesday (May 3) morning.

Mr Lon Lee Alle, who was in West Manggarai, a regency in Indonesia's southernmost province of East Nusa Tenggara, to visit the Komodo National Park, was severely injured after getting bitten on his left leg.

According to the park's head, Mr Sudiyono, Mr Alle was initially watching several Komodos eating pigs and goats belonging to villagers. He approached the animals to take pictures, ignoring locals' warning that he should not go too close.


"He must have been too close. A Komodo doesn't like to be disturbed when eating," Mr Sudiyono told The Jakarta Post.

Locals immediately helped pull Mr Alle away from the Komodos and rushed him to the nearby medical centre where he received first aid. Mr Alle was then taken to the Siloam General Hospital on a military speed boat.


"This is the first incident of human being bitten by a Komodo dragon in the past five years," Mr Sudiyono said.

He added that the Singaporean had stayed with locals for three days to save costs.

"The incident took place away from the area set by us where tourists are allowed to observe Komodos. I also appeal to all tourists to take guides with you when wandering around to see Komodo dragons," said Mr Sudiyono.

"Never risk your safety by staying with locals and watching Komodos without an official guide only for the sake of your budget," he warned.

Komodo Dragons Kill With Venom, Researchers Find

Komodo dragons kill using a one-two punch of sharp teeth and a venomous bite, scientists have confirmed for the first time.

The find dispels the common belief that toxic bacteria in the Komodos' mouths are responsible for ultimately killing the dragons' prey.

All Octopuses Are Venomous, Study Says

An animal that escapes a Komodo's initial attack soon weakens and dies. The fierce carnivore tracks the wounded creature and dines at its leisure once the prey collapses.

Researchers have long thought that the Komodo dragon, native to Indonesia, kills via blood poisoning caused by the multiple strains of bacteria in the dragon's saliva.

But "that whole bacteria stuff has been a scientific fairy tale," said Bryan Fry, a venom researcher at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

Fry and colleagues studied the biochemistry of Komodo venom after they had the rare opportunity to examine two dragons from zoos that both had to be put down due to terminal illnesses.

The team found that the dragon's venom rapidly decreases blood pressure, expedites blood loss, and sends a victim into shock, rendering it too weak to fight.

In the venom, some compounds that reduce blood pressure are as potent as those found in the word's most venomous snake, western Australia's inland Taipan.

While his colleagues expressed surprise at the findings, Fry said he wasn't so shocked.

His earlier research had shown that other lizard species—such as iguanas, legless lizards, and monitor lizards—are also venomous.

In fact, Fry estimates that close to a hundred of the more than 5,000 known lizard species use venom.

So if the kaypoh natives had just minded their own business, this Lon Lee Alle chap getting eaten by Smaug the Dragon would have helped some tourists get 1 million views on Youtube by now.
