An 8-year-old [[Portal:Indonesia|Indonesian]] boy died after being attacked on Saturday by a [[w:Komodo Dragon|Komodo Dragon]] at [[w:Komodo National Park|Komodo National Park]] on [[w:Komodo|Komodo]].

The boy was attacked while making a toilet stop in a bush, a park official said. "The dragon bit his waist, tossed him and dragged him. His right leg was badly scratched," park spokesman Heru Rudiharto said. The boy then bled to death.

Attacks by Dragons on humans are rare, though the reptiles, which can grow to a length of 3 meters (9 feet), regularly kill such prey as pigs and small deer. Komodo Dragons are an endangered and protected species, and about 2,000 of them live in the wild, mainly on Komodo and nearby [[w:Rinca|Rinca]] island.
