The bacteria involved with them is extremely dangerous. This is a horrible bite. Must have been terrifying!
I’ve always wondered if T-rex hunted in a similar fashion: take one bite and let infection do the rest, while you follow along at a leisurely pace.
I believe they’ve been found to be venomous.
Although the Komodo Dragon carries an incredible variety of bacteria in its mouth, it's the venom they inject into their victims when they bite that makes them so lethal.
