Komodo dragons possess venom in their saliva, which contains various proteins that can cause shock, prevent blood clotting, and induce paralysis in their prey. While the exact quantity of venom varies, it is not measured in the same way as snake venom; instead, the effectiveness lies in the combination of bacteria and toxins in their bite. Their bites can lead to severe infections and complications, ultimately aiding in subduing larger prey.
