In a furious struggle for a deer carcass, startling photographs from Iɴᴅᴏɴᴇsɪᴀ recorded the moment a greedy Komodo dragon put its entire head into the mouth of his bigger and potentially fatal reptile friend.
These images demonstrate the lengths to which a dragon would go to obtain a meal. These enormous lizards, who are only located on a few Iɴᴅᴏɴᴇsɪᴀn islands, are known for their fiery temper and voracious hunger.
Andrey Gudkov, a 44-year-old photographer, recently traveled to Rinca Island, which is adjacent to Komodo island, and captured footage of the fierce creatures ғɪɢʜᴛing for a fresh meal.
It appears that the brave dragon avoided suffering major harm when it made the ʀɪsᴋy decision to sate his appetite. It was extremely fortunate to survive unharmed, given that the lizards contain toxic saliva and have been known to exhibit cannibalistic inclinations.
A Komodo dragon tries to escape from other hungry lizards whose eyes are set firmly on the deer carcass in its mouth. Two boisterous dragons ᴄʟᴏsᴇ in on the deer and its current handler, preventing it from having a dinner for one. When enemies approach the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ deer while smelling succulent ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ, it is useless to try to safeguard its food. The original carrier of the ᴍᴇᴀᴛ is made to share its meal with the other dragons, who quickly snout-ʙʟᴏᴏᴅy each other in the chaos.
Due to their size, Komodo dragons will ғɪɢʜᴛ a variety of creatures. Carrion, deer, pigs, buffalo, and even smaller dragons have all been reported to be eaten by them. Although ᴋɪʟʟings are relatively rare, they have been known to assault people as well.
