This thread has made me want to take another trip to Banff, the only place I've ever seen a moose crossing the street.

I was driving through rural Malaysia once and saw these logs in the distance. As slowed down and got closer, the logs started moving When I got to within about 10 feet, I saw these giant lizards. Needless to say, I didn't get out of the car. Afterwards, I was telling the story to the locals and they said that they were Komodo Dragons and it was a good thing that I didn't get out of the car as they have eaten humans though rarely.
