[00:00:00]Why do these giant lizards bite their prey just once and simply walk away?

[00:00:05]Because inside that mouth hides a silent genetic killer.

[00:00:09]Most people think Komodo dragons kill using dirty bacteria-filled saliva, but the terrifying truth, they are actually armed with a sophisticated venom system.

[00:00:18]Hidden right beneath their lower jaws are specialized venom [music] glands.

[00:00:22]The moment those teeth pierce flesh, this toxic cocktail is injected directly into the prey's [music] bloodstream.

[00:00:28]This venom doesn't just burn, it acts as a severe anticoagulant, completely stopping the blood from clotting. It causes the prey's blood pressure to [music] plummet instantly.

[00:00:38]The target goes into total shock, becoming too weak and dizzy to fight back. No matter how far the prey runs, within [music] minutes it collapses from massive blood loss. All the dragon has to do is follow the scent and claim its meal.
