Komodo dragons are apex predators, preying on various animals such as deer, pigs, and even water buffalo. Their powerful jaws and venomous bite make them formidable hunters.
Hunting Techniques
Komodo dragons use stealth and ambush tactics to catch their prey. They have a keen sense of smell to locate food from miles away and can run at speeds of up to 13 mph.
Feeding Behavior
After a successful hunt, Komodo dragons tear apart their prey with their sharp teeth and claws. They can consume large amounts of meat in a single meal and may not need to eat again for weeks.
