Here is the largest Lizard on Earth and it's very deadly.
Let's mess with it.
Why not?
+Fernando Cruz These were probably tamed lizards.
+funwiththoughts You can train a Komodo dragon, but you can never tame one...
Bk Jeong Taming isn't the same as domesticating. Almost any animal can be tamed.
funwiththoughts That's training.
What's most ominous to me about them is that they don't show typical signs of aggression. They always seem calm and composed, even when they're about to kill you.
Well, they're idle hunters, not competitive one. They bit their prey, lets it run if they escape, and slowly track their prey down while the said prey is slowly dying out of bloodloss and the rotting venom. By the time their prey died, they would arrive and eat the carcass. Life is calm for them because it's a sure ending, that's why they're composed.
Unlike other predators like bears, tigers, lions, and others who had to hunt their food competitively to live another day and if that food escape, that means more energy has to be expended in search for a new prey.
My ex wife was like that.
@@Quaid44 my condolences
They are reptiles XD they are not a human from 2000 whos being told to show sensetivity... quite the opposite of a yelling angry teenager 🤣🤣🤣
@adam 330 well since you clearly have a small pp should make you understand you won't be able to hold a woman's attention for long. My big old dingdong has enabled me to never have a woman leave first.
The fact that they can climb trees makes you don't even want to go near it
Geezt Jeez AND THEY SWIM TOO!!
And they have a DEADLY VENOM AT THEIR MOUTH AND WHEN YOU BITTEN ONCE THEY WAIT UNTIL YOU DIE
I'm pretty sure only the young ones can climb trees. When they get bigger they're more clumsy and will have trouble climbing trees.
@@fawfuls yes the large komodo can't climb and large komodo can eat baby komodo so the young need to be on top of tree to be save
At least they don't fly lol
I'll never forget my neighbor was busted for having one of these things illegally. The cops looked so freaked out and out of their element trying to capture it as it was running free through our neighborhood. This was Richmond VA by the way. God knows how that dude got one of these giant Lizards. Still makes me shiver just thinking about.
Test it,if they saliva contain venom,then its komodo
@Hey K This crazy dude had a mother fkn' komodo dragon lol. He got some VERY serious charges. I remember specifically because of how shocking and surprising it was.
@@cloudambient How was he housing it and how did it escape?
@@qarmatianwarhorse6028 I have no clue what was going on in the inside of his house. It didn't escape his house, it more briefly escaped the police/animal control while they were trying to move it from the house to their truck.
Virginia? I'm surprised this didn't happen in Florida.
"Looks like he's trying to regurgitate something"
Looks like a serious warning to stay away...

@scott warwick 😂😂😂
looks like he's listening to a banger
I thought it was just yawning
He was actually laughing
They're the size of a crocodile.
They're deadly
They can climb trees
But hoomans would surely mess around with them
wah
Clearly not the size of a crocodile. Not even the size of a gator
They can’t climb trees what are you talking about
@@amerzada the younger ones stay in the trees so they are not eaten by adults. I've seen it. a documentary.
Oh I thought he meant the big adult
They even eat themselves, the mothers eat their newly born if she is feeling lazy to hunt. Scary
#cannibalism
That’s actually pretty common in the animal kingdom. Even animals like Crab, Hamster, and even Chimpanzees will eat their babies after birth due to the lack of nutrients.
We just eat the placentas or throw our babies away...
@@narararamammily5386 yeah i had hamsters .. they eat their own babies for some weird reason
Very bad

0:56 "Looks like he's trying to regurgitate something". No buddy, I think he's just trying to see if you'll fit in his mouth.
🤣 I get the joke but just in case you don't know, actually komodo hunts buffalo
@Dirly Visakha Chandra Yeah! If they can hunt a big buffalo they can definitely eat humans. That was my poin
he was like..noo..i dont think he fits in.

It was just a cute yawn
2:48 Nothing personal kid
Omg lol

But I must go all out
@@pengeborbool Just this once
Think fast
Who else laughed when one of the dragons tail slapped the other
elijah mckoy me! straight in the face XD
Hahaha
Haha me
not me. :p
+elijah mckoy haha
To put the bite in perspective, it's twice that of an adult male Rottweiler bite force and those can sure break bones. Amazing.
Not to mention their saliva that's full of bacterias
I know they're dangerous n everything but can we just appreciate how cute they walk
Lizard doggos

Cute?? I hate reptiles. They repel me.
@xXx_LukizZza_xXx Oof metre max
sometimes when i see corgis walking i think they look like this
2:20 I love how they quickly realized that this was a *really* dumb idea.
it really was. he almost caused a frenzy
I'm glad they caught on quick, better sooner than too late.
"That's fine" 😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I wonder how much he lowered its defense with that tail whip . . .
Here have my like
You. I see what you did there xD
lol
you won
i don't know. But I do know how much speed and attack he got raised with that dragon dance...
Who’s here after watching that video of the Komodo dragon climbing the store shelf? 🖐 🤣
Well the other one was a water monitor, yet I still ended up here.
@@coolymoody I kept reading different comments on what it was, I know it was some kind of monitor lizard
OMG LITERALLY ME 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol literally me. Someone said it's not a komodo dragon so I had to come here to make sure
Totally me lol, but the other one was a different type of monitor. Still huge, though!

2:25, the person who told them to back-off is very smart and was alert to the situation. He is very professional and knew they will get in trouble if they didn't back-off. Good for him.
Wtf? the person who has been told to back-off.. he's indonesian and he's working on komodo island, he has more knowledge on komodo lizard than the person who told him to back-off.
@@aryanda4982 Then that Indonesian guy didn't react in time... Not as professional as you would think in my honest opinion.
@@aryanda4982 Steve Backshall has studied Animals for decades especially predators like Komodo Dragons. He's also travelled all around the world to study a variety of species so of course he knows more then the Indonesian man...
And it cleary shows in the clip the Indonesian could of lost his foot if it wasn't for Steve.
@@aryanda4982 how does being a local automatically mean he knows better than the expert in animal behaviour who has spent years working with animals across the world on land, under the sea and in the air? Not every Indonesian is somehow wise in the ways of the local wildlife.

I really appreciate the work people put in these videos. That's incredible
But can they shoot fire
+Wreck Wrack komodos don't have venom
No but they spit Venom
+Seth Bangard Nope...but they carry a deadly virus in their saliva/drool.
no they cant
+Seth Bangard it seems that they found out that komodo dragon do have a venom..they didn't kill using their bacteria in their saliva, that was a myth..
Komodo can swim, standing, battering using the tail, and run pretty fast. It is like Spinosaurus, T-Rex, and Velociraptor resulted into one single species but (fortunately) in smaller scale...and Steve Backshall did an experiment in close distance. Wow!
Climb too. So higher place doesn't work
@@adamgondrong503 sorry to inform you that only juvenile komodos that could climb trees because they have to to avoid being eaten by their cannibalistic elders.
@@varlnova1103 Even teenagers are also Komodo, right?
@Mullerornis can you list it? just asking
You’ve seen too much Jurassic park. Velociraptors were more like big chickens. The movie is fake.

Think about the person who discovered this island for the first time and seeing all of these huge man eating venemous lizards.
Never heard from again. Next man up found his bones.
Then he wondered why a tribe of humans can survive.
The first person who discovered them was Lieutenant Jacques Karel Henri van Steyn van Hensbroek, who went to Komodo Island, Indonesia in 1912. When he got there he shot one and sent the body back to Dutch biologist Peter Ouwens for study.
@@Redstoneprime316 You mean the first European. Indonesian locals have known about and lived with the animals for hundreds, if not thousands, of years
@@mr.d00m37 Yes.
0:56 "it seems like hes trying to regurgitate something
Lizard: nah just yawning to look cute.
The real Lizard: i dont want to eating you because you not my favorite
Looks like he's havin a stroke
2:48 the dragon's revenge
Holy shet that was funny
I live in Indonesia, because I live on the outskirts of the city with a large population of lizards, so when we were little we used to catch monitor lizards for money, sometimes 1 adult monitor lizard costs around 30 thousand rupiah or about 2 US dollars. . . This animal is similar to the Komodo dragon but is small in size. The tail often whips a whip to defend itself.
hate them
If it's long, skinny and likes to swim it's probably an Asian Water Monitor.
Biawak eta mah🗿
No
Where is this island? I wanna send someone on a trip there 😂😂😂
Vibha B NUSA TENGGARA , INDONESIA

Adorable in man-eating sort of way..
tbh I also think they're awesome
@@TheFlatFenderBender I agree they're awesome, but that is one evil smile. Like they're contemplating how we'll taste.

After 2 years you may have figured it out by yourself, but shotguns are quite handy when one of those monsters is trying to eat you.
These things are pretty terrifying. So funny when one hit the other with its tail HAHA. Modern dinosaurs.
You won't get them in Africa only Indo
deadly 60.... that's nostalgic, I would watch this every day when i got home from school :)
They're really look prehistoric.

My God! They're the size of alligators!
darthstarkiller1912
Nope, maybe smaller species
No they are not
They're the modern day dinosaur. Laughed my ass off when one hit the other with its tail.
its like our version Of alligators in Indonesia lol.
and it only be found on the flores and komodo island. in america, alligator can only be found on the east coast
Komodo are more close to adult caymens in size. Either way, they are the only living species that scientists classify as a dinosaur because it’s the only living ancestor of dinosaurs that is large enough to be classified as a megafauna.
they look like something right out of Jurassic Park.. and they soooooo cute
The design of the raptors was partially based off them, if you watch the pre recording stop motions you can see that they have snake/kamodo dragon tounges
The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae that is endemic to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang. Wikipedia

Komodo : No B1tch
Especially my siblings
Godzillas little cousins
MrGame N Watch search up Galapagos island iguanas you will see a Godzilla
MrGame N Watch Nice
No, Godzillas are much more of crocodile cousins while Komodos are cousins of lizards, chameleon, geckos & iguanas.
nice dinosaur you have there
PATRICK WILL CONSUME well, they are not dinosaurs because they dont have feathers, hollow bones, three-toed feet and dinosaur hip bones.
Captain Cat its dinosaur LOL, Dont be kidding
Fernandito Delon Andretti look at the classification of dinosaurs and lizards, they are completely different. Lizards don't even look like a dinosaur
js valino No, birds descended from dinosaurs. Dinosaurs that were too large during the Kt mass extinction died from hunger. Smaller ones needed less food, lived on and became birds.
SMS2020 Gunnar S No. Niether did dinosaurs look like lizards. Also, dinosaurs totally could've possesed both. Even the modern day ostrich has scales. Feathers are modified scales that have been shaped differently throughout the years for different purposes. (I.E flying feathers or feathers that serve as a coat to keep warm)
This guy is so chill when it comes to getting close to the world's most dangerous animals
I mean if multiple people can hang around them and they don't give a shit they're not the most dangerous animals. If your around a tiger you WILL get attacked unless your a trained animal handler , have an established bond or both. Seems like the only way you would get attacked is if you piss them off, get in their way, or by accident.
I guarantee he wouldn't be this calm around a herd of hippos 😂
@@captainzoltan7737Komodo dragons would only really care about humans if they were small enough to eat or if you piss them off. They aren’t gonna waste their energy to attack you if you keep out their way. In Indonesia a lot of people can get close enough to film them. However a small child they would for sure eat and not think twice about it.
@@davidfairweather3301 True
2:58 Komodo pimp slap
1:16 You have to love the fact that this thing obviously likes beer...
They walk funny, i love the way they walk 😂
All lizards and crocs and gators too have their legs splayed out to the side which is the opposite of the dinosaurs which had their legs directly underneath their bodies.
Largest and most dangerous lizard on earth
Komodo: casually climbs on store shelf
its a hell naw from me dawg
thrifted dad hat talk like a civilised human being.
Fascinating creatures. It's so interesting to think about the different directions taken by evolution as it unfolded (and continues to unfold) in different habitats, regions, etc. These lizards are amazing, but if a human being fell down in the midst of three or four of them, he or she wouldn't stand much of a chance.
only one of them is enough... even for kill many humans, it can kill à cow
much of a chance? How about no chance in hell and they'd even be alive during the entire process. this is probably one of the worst ways to die these lizards have no chill
The human is more fast.if he gets In there with a sword..he will mkill it
They really do look like dragons.
just need wings and they will be above all in food chain.
+ankushzap
Don't forget the fire-breathing!
Maybe cos they are dragons.... real dragons

I know
Lizards has always been my best animal
A Piece Of Cheese yup yet so deadly with their poison
liz c a reptile person??
I lost there
liz c do you like reptiles from a scientific point of view?
I'm not scared of these at all . They are powerful for sure but not aggressive to humans at all. I've walked with them many times you just can't get too close but they always let out a warning if you are getting to close anyway. Great animals!
Alligators are typically the same way in my experience. Not crocs though. They're mean.
Ye even in a professional komodo park there is a 15% death chance if you get attacked
As long as you keep a level of calmness and respect around any large animal that might eat you, it definitely limits the chances of you getting mauled.
But these lizards have killed and eaten people, and likely will do again. The number is small, 24 reported attacks, 5 fatalities over nearly 50 years, but that's only due to their small, localised population.
If you get a mad one and get too close they can run bloody fast. They run faster than I can and that is what scares me.
strange
Now this is my kind of lizard at 1:17 going straight for the beer lol
Amazing no one has filmed these lizards in a horror film context, complete with special effects and 1950's era story line.
Yes..
Godzilla
Incredible creatures. I wouldn’t want to come face to face with one though.
The Komodo dragon is often referred to as a "living dinosaur" because of its ancient lineage.
They look so precious while walking around
this guy really got balls!
I can´t get enough of videos on these outstanding predators.
Wow! Dinosaurs!!❤️
I have a fear of lizards(the proper term is scholiodentasauraphobia and yes, its a thing) which I believe stemmed from an incident when I was a toddler and one crawled up the back of my leg and startled me. The mere sight of one is enough to make me scream and run in the other direction. So Komodo dragons, although interesting, are pretty much a nightmare come to life for someone like me.
googoodollsfan So sorry to hear that. It's a beautiful creature and I hope you will get better, Pray ....that;s all I can say, It helps.

Steve Backshall is great presenter, please more of him!!
i agree
"Might wanna back up a bit there, Greg."
Greg already 200 yards away: "Got it, bud!"
Imagine if their older relative, The Megalania was still alive..
I used to have a book and it showed me it and it looks so similar but just bigger
+Kaleb Spell pretty much was a bigger meaner version
actually it's quite likely it is. since area is so secluded and the amount of sightings. they even found a skeleton only 200 years old.
Jacki Jester i mean, they didnt go extinct allll that long ago relatively speaking, so its not too uncommon to find skeletons that arent that old. I doubt with any large prey around tho that the stragglers that managed to survive would die out like the rest of their species
Hmm.. maybe they are there are some megalanias due to the sightings but I think there are some megalanias probably out there since the animals aren't large
I saw one of these or it's cousin on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. I was walking a path and one came out of the jungle and crossed in front of me. I slowly backed up and it went on its way. I had lived there six months and did not know there were these amazing animals.
I think you saw Biawak (monitor lizards) in the wild they can reach 1.5 meters in length
You guys are pretty amazing down there. Here we have different creatures and entertainment up here 😀
