As a bit of an aside, I posted a comment [0] on Reddit when this was posted yesterday. It links to a gallery with a lot of interesting info about Komodo dragons. Like me, you probably have at least a few false beliefs about Komodo dragons (such as the fact that they are slow scavengers, or that they are venomous or use bacteria to poison animals before waiting for them to die).
Anyone curious should check out this amazing gallery of pics/videos and captions that really blew my mind and totally changed my perception of this fearsome lizard!

- justaguyhere 8y agoThere was a video on /r/natureismetal, I watched about 10 seconds before fast forwarding - bunch of dragons munching on a deer, while it is still alive :( These are scary animals! They do look cool though
- Defenestresque 8y agoOh yeah, that's this one [0] I believe. I just realized its age-restricted. Definitely NSFW/L! [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPBiLXp5Uj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPBiLXp5Uj8
- justaguyhere 8y agoI intentionally didn't link it :( Warning to those who want to watch : it is horrible, and I just watched a few seconds. Really, don't watch it if you can't see nature in its most raw form
- koboll 8y agoAs horrific as that video is, it leaves me with so many questions. How did the deer stay alive so long? Why didn't it scream / fight more? What caused it to kick into survival mode right at the end, seconds before death?
