The Komodo dragon has super toxic saliva and when it sees a relaxed bison on komodo island it runs at 20 miles an hour and bites. Then it runs away watching the bison slowly die. Once it is dead four or five dragons start eating.

The Komodo dragon has a very dirty mouth. They save small bits of rotting meat between their teeth and let it fester. Also, they have a blood-thinning venom. They bite their choice of prey, follow it around for a couple days and wait for blood loss and bacterial blood-poisoning to set in and make it drop dead.

Komodo dragons have a phenomenal sense of smell, and are extremely curious. They will eat any animal they can catch, and also consume carrion. Most of their diet when they are young is comprised of insects. Adults consume mainly smaller animals (including baby dragons), but also take larger prey.

The komodo dragon's saliva is both venomous, and contains high levels of virulent bacteria. A dragon will nip a large animal, and then follow it until the animal is too sick to continue resisting.

They use their sense of smell as primary tool studies also suggest that they use their forked tongues to sample the air and special organs in their mouth assist in sampling it.pretty much like snakes

Komodo dragons have totally horrible mouth cleanliness ... their bite becomes infected almost immediately and the animal they bite dies within days. The dragons use this to bring down prey larger than themselves, like buffalo. They sneak up on their prey, bite as hard as they can, then let the animal "escape" ... while following it so they can eat it once it's dead.
