Twitter Is Stunned At Viral Video Of Komodo Dragon Wolfing Down A Deer

That is shocking.
Growing up in elementary school, you’re introduced to creatures like the Komodo dragon, and I’ve always been under the impression that those things are just oversized lizards.
But no, after watching this video, I am firmly convinced that Komodo dragons were the only creatures that survived the asteroid that hit earth during prehistoric times, or that they were sent to earth by a UFO , to ravage everything that comes in their way.
A video recently went viral of a Komodo dragon completely wiping out a deer, tossing it around in its mouth, and finally swallowing it whole.
I thought to myself when I first saw it:
“There’s no way this is real. That can not be.”
Sure enough it is.
About five times the size of this deer, the creature commends the cameraman for having the courage to get within a few feet and capture the wild footage.
Most adult male Komodo dragons weigh between 170 and 200 pounds and are 8.5 feet in length. However, they can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh up to 300 pounds, so I’ll go ahead and say this bad boy is in that weight class.
Not to mention that they can run up to 12 miles per hour.
Luckily, since they’re native to Indonesia’s Lesser Sunda Islands, we probably never have to worry about crossing paths with one of these things.
And of course, it drew some wild reactions on Twitter:

I had a dream where the world was overrun by these dragons and they are all after you, if you don’t start screaming then they would turn and go the other way. Basically, when you were outside, you had to scream the whole time. Shit was a movie

This must be an edit. There’s no way that’s really possible on Earth pic.twitter.com/M8iK8D88yr
