She almost got killed by a Komodo Dragon while she was out there. She went out without her gun one day and was walking past a carcass that was laid out for a Komodo dragon they were hoping to attract, and one was coming.

Isn't that nuts that they're literally forcing it by slamming into a tree? I didn't know that we didn't really have any evidence that Komodo dragons existed until I think 1906. It was the early 1900s. There were kind of stories about them, but then people always used to embellish stories.
