Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.

Ukweli

The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard, and its size is unusual among reptiles.1

Its teeth are replaced about every 40 days, and it has up to five replacement teeth for each tooth position at any time.1

Fossils show that Komodo dragons once lived in Australia, where they existed alongside megalania, the largest land lizard ever.1

The 1926 expedition by W. Douglas Burden inspired the 1933 film King Kong.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Ukweli: They were once thought to be deaf, but a London Zoo keeper trained one to come to her voice even when she was out of sight. They hear low-pitched sounds, roughly between 400 and 2,000 hertz.1
