The inhabitants of Komodo leave the dead bodies of their cattle for the great predator. On this occasion, it is a goat that has died and there are hungry dragons lurking.
The wind carries the smell, and the dragon comes to collect its due. He must begin to eat immediately. If he has found the corpse, then other dragons will not be far behind. The first thing it will eat will be the entrails, which are the softest and easiest parts to eat. Before he has had a chance to begin, a second, and even bigger lizard appears on the scene. In very little time, the wind has carried the message to all the dragons in the area. By the time the third guest arrives, the entrails have been devoured. In just a few minutes, the goat has almost entirely disappeared. The lizards will swallow the bones, the skin, and even the hooves. The only thing left lying on the ground are the horns, a pool of blood, and claw marks, the only sign that the lizards have accepted the payment of the natives.
All the islands on which humans have settled have been invaded by the animals they brought with them. The different ecosystems have absorbed pigs, dogs or goats, which escaped from their human masters and were able to adapt to life in the wild. They are the most recent newcomers, and the latest victims of the Komodo dragon. Man has lived alongside the giant lizards since time immemorial. Over generations, children and adults who strayed from the settlements have disappeared in the jungle, leaving no trace. After the initial anguish, people became resigned to this. It is the tribute they must pay to the dragons for allowing them to live on their island
