Komodo Dragon Feeding

WARNING: Don’t read this if you don’t want to see a komodo dragon eating a small furry animal. (Duh)

At the Toronto Zoo we saw the happiest komodo dragon we have ever seen.

But he wasn’t happy because he was just basking in the sun on a beautiful day.

image

No, komodo dragons are evil killing machines.

image

With forked tongues, like all evil things.

image

And he was stalking his prey.

image

Slowly but steadily.

image

It took him quite a while given that his prey was already dead.

image

But eventually he found it.

image

He had trouble picking it up at first.

image

He couldn’t seem to get a grip on it.

image

But finally he got it the right way around.

image

And then swallowed it in a couple of gulps.

image

He swallowed it whole, without chewing.

image

Then he licked his lips.

image

And smiled. He looks so innocent if you ignore the little bit of blood on his lips.
