Did ancient hobbits feast on komodo dragons' leftovers?

Imagine you're at a big buffet, and instead of pizza or candy, there are bones and meat scraps from komodo dragons. That’s what happened to some ancient hobbits, who lived long ago in what is now Indonesia.

Hobbits are not real people we know today, they’re tiny people from stories, like in The Lord of the Rings. But ancient hobbits (we call them homo floresiensis) were very small. They were about the size of a kid who hasn’t grown all the way yet!

Komodo dragons are big lizards, some can be as long as a car! These dragons probably hunted animals like deer or pigs, and sometimes they left leftovers after their meals.

The tiny hobbits might have found these leftovers on the ground. Maybe they ate them when the dragons were away. It’s like finding a snack that someone else dropped, except it was meat from a big animal!

So yes, ancient hobbits might have feasted on komodo dragons’ leftovers, just like you’d enjoy a sandwich after a friend drops one on the floor!
