Several years ago, I would have said that the Komodo dragon’s bite was lethal because the bacteria in its filthy mouth cause blood poisoning. Now, we know that the dragon is also venomous. Its jaws are weak but its neck is strong. It’s adapted to inflict gaping wounds by biting lightly and tearing ferociously. Then, if your day wasn’t going badly enough, it drools venom inside.
