horrible tales from the chinese restaurant - Post a comment

The dragons of Komodo generally confine themselves to the consumption of sick and weak or fresh born animals. At the hunting of bigger animals, like red deers and water buffalo, they lie in wait for these at the deer paths and then bite in a surprise attack into the legs. Because there are lots of infective bacteria in the saliva of the monitors, which were indroduced into the wound during the bite, the monitors do not have to kill their prey immediately - water buffalos are very powerful - so they can follow the tracks of the wounded prey over several days, till it died on loss of blood or are weak by an infection. After that it is much easier to overpower the animal.
