Lol

I've seen a live Komodo in person. It do be a big boi.

me too

its a big lizard, gator sized almost

Yeah I wonder which would be terror indicing, coming across a full grown hungry komodo in the wild, or a hungry bear.

except, it is on land

Komodo

a bear will most likely only attack you if you are near its cubs

Oh I never saw it in the wild. I saw it at the zoo.

oh same here

im not going to komodo

Yeah I figured

Pretty cool animal.

thats a terrible idea

Let's do it!

Team terrible idea go!

Lmfao

Well I'd be more terrified of the dragon hands down. They're extremely efficient runners.

A monitor lizard can run up a hill faster than your average Joe can down it.

They are somewhat social too right? So odds are, it wouldn't be alone?

Eh I'm not sure how social they are. They're probably like crocodiles when it comes to that. In videos I've seen of them being in groups it's always when they're eating something.

Or someone <:troll_face:726878856585281557>

Similar, most images/videos I've seen are of them in groups

Oh 💩 then

Reptiles don't pack hunt. However, they can eat something together. Doesn't mean there won't be fighting and competition.

I mean their main diet are deer. Not exactly a slow animal.

Yeah. That's why I said they're efficient runners. Even better ambush predators.

Brrr

Because they likely don't run things down outright. They ambush it, bite it and eat it right away if it's a smaller animal *or* if it's a larger animal they wait for the venom to take effect and then they feast.

yeah thats not terrifying at all

They also have a great sense of smell. So even if you're a mile away they'd know you're there ready for the picking.

Once the prey is dead.

Oh and btw they have an extinct cousin that's just shy of 25 feet

How long ago did it go extinct?

And can we resurrect the species by accident like the salt water sea snake?

It's been extinct for 50,000 years.

Well the salt water sea snake went "extinct" from sharks

Weird

And once we reduced the shark population in the ocean they re-emerged.

There's this fish that they thought went extinct with the dinosaurs and they found it just vibin in the ocean.
