combined tooth-venom arsenal revealed as key to Komodo Dragon's hunting strategy.
KOMODO ISLAND, Indonesia (AP) — Komodo dragons have shark-like teeth and poisonous venom that can kill a person within hours of a bite.
Komodo Dragons use poison to kill their prey, making them potentially more deadly than previously thought, scientists have found.
The carnivorous reptiles (Varanus komodoensis) are known to bite prey and release them, leaving them to bleed to death from their wounds: the victims are reported to go into shock before the dragons kill and eat them.
It is a shock-inducing poison, not bacteria, that gives the Komodo dragon's bite its lethal power.
