How do Monitor lizards kill their prey?
Monitors have very sharp teeth to tear their prey, and even if the prey gets away initially, they may die from the wound. For many years, it was believed that the many bacteria which monitor lizards harbour in their mouth were responsible for these deaths: after all, according to the National Geographic, the saliva of monitor lizards such as the Komodo dragon carries between 50 and 80 different types of bacteria. Other species were also known to carry bacteria. However, scientists were dubious about this theory, as prey tended to die within two days - a very short time for bacteria to be able to kill an animal. However, scientists have discovered that the bite of the Komodo dragon delivers a powerful venom, comparable to that of a cobra, which actually thins the blood, increasing blood flow and creating a state of shock in the victim. The serrated teeth of a komodo dragon are used to open a gaping wound in its prey, enabling the venom to flow easily. Further investigations have indicated that all species of monitor lizards appear to have a venomous bite.
