Can someone explain how it is physically possible for them to eat a monkey whole? That's probably the craziest video I've seen in a while.

  I'm guessing nothing has the confidence to tell something that is capable of eating a monkey whole that it can't eat a monkey whole.

A Komodo dragon may attempt to speed up the process by ramming the carcass against a tree to force it down its throat, sometimes ramming so forcefully, the tree is knocked down Jesus, they're mental.

That was... impressive. Those dragons really are impressive killing and eating machines, and people who want to own one are out of their tiny minds.

  It's a nice addition for any Bond villains lair. Big bad man like big bad toys. This is actually a common problem in Mexico: "They [drug lords] like charismatic animals that symbolise power and strength: big cats such as lions, tigers and jaguars, along with big snakes, monkeys and nice looking birds," [1] [1] https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/indepth/features/2011/09/2011921191435958546.html https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/indepth/features/2011/09/20119...

I'm not saying I'd want to try to a catch Komodo dragon, but they're still less half the size of a saltwater crocodile, which can go over 6m! Here's one tackling a wildebeest: https://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/worlds-deadliest/00000144-0a35-d3cb-a96c-7b3d00310000 https://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/worlds-deadliest/...
