Komodo Dragon Eats a Whole Monkey Within Seconds! Terrifying Footage From Indonesia Goes Viral

Very impressive @sanjay !

About #46: I just come to remark that Komodo varanus eat some preys as constrictor snakes (anacondas, pythons, boas) do, by swallowing them directly, with all the skin and feathers. But as concerns the big preys they can eat them like some mammal scavengers (spotted hyenas for example) by being able to plung their head into the corpse and tear some flesh (but not by breaking bones, komodo varanus don't have a huge bite force like hyenas and this by far).

Somewhere, I find them fascinating...

Rest of #48: The same picture but increased... This beast is charging, extern claw of the hind leg turned up, slaver/drool suspended from its mouth. Brute strenght.

Eating a young and still alive buffalo. The animal bitten by the Komodo dragon will suffer from a multi-bacterial infection which will inexorably paralyze it. And at the same time the Komodo dragon's bite is too weak to provoke the death of a prey such as this buffalo. It's very cruel and hard to watch...

This beast has truly its own way of moving...

Their way of fighting standing reminded me a little of the Velociraptors from the Jurassic Park movie from the 90's. hahaha

great video by the way.
