In the longer version of the video on YouTube, you can see down to a small fishing port with two islands or land masses just off the mainland. According to the Smithsonian's National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, Komodos live on "a few Indonesian islands of the Lesser Sunda group, including Rintja, Padar and Flores, and of course the island of Komodo."Īlthough tourists pay to visit the Komodo National Park, people work and live alongside the animal too (along with some rare reports of attacks). It is also worth noting that Komodo dragons only live on five islands in Indonesia. Footage of Komodo dragons fighting each other, shared by the South China Morning Post, shows just how large they can become.Īlthough there are voices of children in the background of the film, as there are in the short clip, it is possible that there are other people, perhaps including kids, standing near the cameraman. Moreover, they can grow up to 10 feet in length and weigh more than 300 pounds. There are dozens of videos compiling footage of Komodo dragons eating large prey on YouTube ( content warning: this video is not for those with a sensitive disposition). It appears the prey in the film is no different. There are many other films online showing these predators eating deer, warthogs, snakes, turtles and other animals with little effort. It has several movable joints which allow it to expand its jaw wide, and can eat up to 80% of its body weight in a single meal.
Their serrated teeth and powerful neck muscles are deadly while their venom glands, filled with toxins, cause fatal bleeding and induce shock.
