Komodo dragons seem to hunt, when they are hungry. But I watched a television show just recently, and some people believed in that particular country that when a Komodo Dragon attacks a human it is normally their destiny. I particularly like the Komodo Dragon, even though it has a poisonous tongue and vicious claws and tails.

∙ 14y agoThe komodo dragon stalks its prey. Often working intelligently in pairs to lure and trap, large komodo dragons prey on deer, wild pigs, water buffalos and other mammals.
Once the komodo dragon closes in on its prey, it bites with its razor-sharp teeth, thereby delivering a poison that actually prevents the blood from clotting, causing the animal to bleed to death. It used to be believed that the bacteria in a komodo dragon's teeth from decaying animal matter was the poison that komodo dragons had, but this has been refuted by recent research.
