00:00 The Komodo dragon is one of the most diverse carnivorous vertebrates.
00:15 Because their food is not only animals such as deers, monkeys, goats and buffaloes, but
00:20 they can also eat other animals.
00:23 Thanks to the poisonous bites, Komodo dragons can knock down their prey.
00:28 For more details about its battles, let's find out now.
00:34 The impressive battles of Komodo dragons and a close-up attack on a deer and monkey.
00:41 So far, Komodo dragons have always been known as the largest lizards currently living on
00:47 Earth, and they are fearsome, aggressive creatures.
00:51 They can weigh up to 90 kilograms and reach 3 meters long and are very good swimmers.
00:58 It even swims from island to island in search of food or a mate.
01:03 Komodo dragons are also quite fast and can run at speeds of 20 km/h.
01:09 However, their way of hunting is to wait for the opportunity to launch a fatal bite that
01:15 causes the prey to be poisoned and die.
01:19 Its food is usually in vertebrates like birds and mammals.
01:23 Moreover, the Komodo dragon can observe its prey from a distance of 300 meters and often
01:30 uses their tongue to detect the taste in the air and the smell like other reptiles.
01:37 With the help of air and the habitat of swinging the head from side to side, the Komodo dragon
01:43 can sniff out a carcass from 4 to 10 km away.
01:49 The battle of two Komodo dragons.
01:52 Komodo dragons are suitable species to live in extremely harsh environments of arid volcanic
01:58 islands.
01:59 Indonesia currently has about 3,500 Komodo dragons, of which there are only about 350
02:06 female dragons.
02:07 It has a set of extremely strong jaws equipped with sharp teeth and has a ferocious appetite.
02:16 One bite can transmit toxic substances into the prey's body because the saliva contains
02:22 many bacteria that makes the prey susceptible to infection.
02:27 The jaw strength coupled with the jaw toxicity will kill the prey.
02:32 Moreover, the dragon species is ready to eat its own kind when no prey is found.
02:38 In particular, after the end of time, to be protected and to protect by their mother,
02:44 the Komodo dragons have to climb the trees to live in seclusions to avoid being eaten,
02:50 and the enemy may be their own mother.
02:54 In the midst of hunger, it seems that Komodo dragons are slaughtering each other.
02:59 And below is the duel between two Komodo dragons.
03:04 Before starting the fight, they glared at each other for a few seconds to assess their
03:09 opponents.
03:10 Then, it jumped up on its hind legs and clung to each other, trying to use all of its muscular
03:16 strength to knock the opponent to the ground.
03:20 At the end of the battle, the winner lays down on top of the remaining opponent as a
03:25 way of flaunting their achievements.
03:28 The fight lasted for a few minutes and no animals were seriously injured or killed in
03:34 the attempt for dominance.
03:36 The Komodo dragon eats a deer.
03:41 On the Indonesian islands, Komodo dragons are the most feared hunters that have no rivals
03:46 in the habitat.
03:49 Komodo dragons hunt by biting and injecting poison into their prey.
03:54 Because of their bulky body, they will let their prey run away.
03:58 However, that prey will gradually become paralyzed due to the effects of the venom.
04:04 This type of venom acts very quickly on the prey, causing shock and cramping pain in the
04:10 abdomen, reducing blood pressure and body temperature, increasing blood circulation.
04:16 In particular, the poison causes blood vessels to dilate, preventing blood from clotting,
04:23 causing nerve paralysis and then causing the prey to quickly lose blood and die.
04:29 This venom is extremely dangerous.
04:31 Combined with a jerky bite and shark-like depth, they almost immediately enter the prey's
04:37 body and act.
04:42 The video below records the image of a deer that has become a delicious meal of the Komodo
04:47 dragon.
04:49 When attacked by dragons, in order to preserve their lives, the deer try to fight back.
04:55 At the moment of not being able to defeat the enemy, the deer immediately ran away with
05:00 the aim of escaping the enemy.
05:02 But with the bloodthirsty nature, the dragon rushed after the victim and it used its body
05:08 weight to drown the deer.
05:16 And finally, it pulled its prey ashore to eat it.
05:21 The Komodo dragon swallows a monkey.
05:26 The scene where Komodo dragons defeat a living monkey caught the eye of a visitor.
05:31 In the video, the poor animal can be seen being bitten on the neck by a Komodo dragon.
05:37 It struggled and struggled.
05:39 However, its resistance now seems futile, as the monkey's legs were suspended from the
05:44 dragon's jaws after its upper body was crushed in the predator's mouth.
05:52 Although the prey is not a small size, but instead of biting, the dragon chooses to swallow
05:57 the opponent into the stomach.
06:00 And in a short time, the Komodo dragon, with its sharp teeth, swallowed its male whole.
06:14 Komodo dragons have a very similar appearance to crocodiles, such as a round snout, scaly
06:19 skin, and strong limbs and sharp claws, and a long tail.
06:24 They use all four limbs to crawl to the ground, just like reptiles.
06:28 The saliva is red, containing 50 different types of bacteria.
06:33 Just one bite of this species can poison the prey and then die before swallowed by the
06:39 dragon.
06:41 Komodo dragons are ferocious eaters, being able to eat up to 80% of its body weight in
06:48 a single meal.
06:50 After eating, Komodo dragons often have to drag themselves to a sunny location to speed
06:55 up digestion.
