Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world, with shark-like teeth and venomous venom. The dominant predator can eat almost anyone and anything. Now, an old video of a Komodo dragon eating a turtle and then playing with its shell has gone viral again.

The video is from 2019 and has managed to grab the attention of the internet. The giant lizard can be seen walking on the beach while its head is stuck in the turtle’s shell. Once the turtle is enjoyed, the Komodo dragon emerges from the shell and throws it aside.

The video was posted by a Twitter user Fascinating, whose caption read, “A Komodo dragon ate a turtle and then wore it like a hat.”

The video has garnered nearly 4 lakh views with 8,965 likes and hundreds of comments.

One user wrote, “These creatures are wild. If they don’t kill their prey immediately, they chase it until they do.” Another user wrote, “Okay, this is terrible.” A third user commented, “Nature is so violent.”

In 2021, giant lizards were listed as “endangered”. Komodo dragons – the world’s largest living lizard – are found only in the World Heritage-listed Komodo National Park and neighboring Flores.

A zoo in Indonesia is breeding Komodo dragons in an effort to save the world’s largest lizards from extinction, with climate change posing new threats to the frightening creatures.
