2. Komodo Dragon – The Silent Stalker That Never Forgets
Indonesia
Most hunters don’t expect to be hunted back. But with the Komodo dragon, that’s exactly what happens.
Venomous bite: These prehistoric giants don’t just bite their prey—they inject venom that stops blood clotting, causing victims to bleed out slowly.
Patience hunters: If they bite you once, they’ll follow you for hours, waiting for you to weaken before striking again.
No escape: Komodo dragons can run at 12 mph and swim between islands—so good luck outrunning one.
A hunter in Indonesia thought he was safe after wounding a Komodo dragon. Minutes later, he turned around—and there were three more closing in on him. He barely made it out alive.
