Witness the Relentless Pursuit of a Massive Komodo Dragon Who Gulps Down an Entire Goat

The Komodo dragon is packed full of surprises. In the below clip, it seems as if the mighty dragon is stalking its prey. However, this hunt is over as soon as it began, it seems – viewer discretion is advised, as we’re then treated to seeing just how capable this vicious beast is at swallowing food whole!

The Komodo dragon, found only in a small portion of Indonesia, is a fascinating critter. While not quite a winged dragon of yore, this huge lizard still lives up to its namesake with its brute ferocity. These dragons can strike with a unique tenacity and a more than deadly bite, and are shockingly quick. Obviously, as the video below proves, they can gobble down whatever fits in their mouth!

The unfortunate goat we see getting chased down is likely a domestic one. Indonesia prolifically breeds goats for their many uses, including their meat and milk products. The clip itself doesn’t give much context if the dragon found the poor goat randomly, or if it was being fed intentionally. Regardless, it’s safe to conclude that goats have little in the means of guarding themselves from dragon attacks!

Make sure to be bold and venture forth, for we can gather further insights on these drastically different animals.

How Dangerous Are Komodo Dragons?

These hefty creatures could be thought of as a cross between a crocodile and a snake. Their bodies are massive and muscular, and their venomous bites are no joking matter. Add that to the impressive set of 60 teeth they sport, and you’re starting to get the bigger picture of just how dangerous they are!

Due to that, and because they’re a protected species, it’s no surprise it’s illegal to have one of these lizards as a pet. Not to worry if you like reptiles, though, as there are still plenty of safer, nicer ones to choose from.

What Does the Goat Represent?

Possibly not including the goat we see in the below video, goats are historically considered a symbol of greatness. One of the virtues they embody is that of resilience, as they can endure even the harshest of winters. In addition, many cultures have held them in high regard for their purported spiritual and magical powers. However, despite all of its determination and hardiness, just make sure no dragons get in their way – it clearly won’t end very well!
