Komodo dragons, the world’s largest lizards, exhibit their fierceness by consuming their prey while it is still alive, a sight that can evoke fear in those who witness it.

A shared video has attracted the attention of the online community when an adult Komodo dragon calmly swallows a mountain goat to the horror of viewers.

The video begins with a scene where a Komodo dragon, as if smelling something, was constantly searching the lawn. Moments later, it discovered the body of an immature mountain goat, lying dead nearby.

It can be seen that the goat is not small in size. However, instead of biting and tearing the prey as in many cases, the Komodo dragon immediately rushed to “swallow” the poor animal the same way a python usually does.

The head of the goat was suspended from the jaws of the bloodthirsty reptile, and the lower body was quickly crushed in the mouth of the predator. In about half a minute, the Komodo dragon, with its sharp teeth like a crocodile, swallowed its lunch.
