A fence was erected outside the village to prevent the entry of Komodo dragons. This reptile rarely bites people, but the number of attacks tends to increase in recent years . Photo: AP.

Scientists captured an adult Komodo dragon to attach a tracking chip. They have to tie the animal's muzzle because its saliva is poisonous. People bitten by Komodo dragons will die after a few days. Photo: AP.

It has always been thought that Komodo dragons have no venom. But in a recent study, Australian scientists found that they used venom to cause prey paralysis of their prey after biting. In addition, their venom prevents blood clots, causing the prey to bleed to death. Photo: AP.
