However, Komodo dragons are known to be cannibalistic, meaning they have been known to kill and eat each other. Additionally, baby Komodo dragons can be killed and eaten by birds, snakes, large rodents, and other Komodo dragons.
Due to the fact that the Komodo Dragon is the most dominant predator in its environment, mature adults have no natural predators in their native habitats.
A crocodile would win a fight against a Komodo dragon. Crocodiles are simply too large and too powerful for a Komodo dragon to fight back against. One likely outcome would be the crocodile waiting for the Komodo dragon in the water and dragging it beneath the waves to suffer a brutal death.
A gorilla would beat a Komodo dragon in a fight. Many people believe that Komodo dragons are venomous. While that is true in a sense, they don't have a venom that will paralyze and knock out their prey. In fact, many of their victims die from exsanguination and brutal soft tissue damage.
The cobra will either lose the fight outright or have a pyrrhic victory, dying to deliver a fatal bite on the lizard. Either way, the snake will be in the lizard's belly by the time the latter dies from venom. Unless the snake landed a bite to a vital area and quickly killed the lizard, it will lose.
Sure, the Komodo dragon has osteoderms that can prevent some damage from being done, but a lion can simply bite the less-guarded neck of the lizard and kill it very quickly. That is not to say that the lion walks away without a scratch.
Tigers are far too large, fast, and powerful for a Komodo dragon to overcome. The tiger's claws might not cut as deeply into the lizard's flesh as they would a mammal, but their teeth would sink in far enough to deal serious damage or outright kill the Komodo dragon.
Komodo dragons and grizzly bears don't live in the same part of the world, but if they did have a battle, it would be epic! They are both fierce fights, with sharp claws and powerful teeth. We believe that the grizzly bear would ultimately win due to its extraordinary bite force of nearly 1000 pounds per square inch.
The shark would use its speed to ram into and overwhelm the Komodo dragon. Although the monitor lizard's skin is tough, it's not going to turn away those massive teeth with that much power behind them. A single bite would prove devastating, if not fatal. Massive blood loss and amputations would kill the Komodo dragon.
If the African elephant had the intention of killing the Komodo dragon quickly and it was on open ground with no hiding place, the dragon would likely be squished under the elephant's foot in the first round.
Thus, the reticulated python could manage to wrap itself around the Komodo dragon, constricting it and suffocating it to death.
Komodo dragons have thrived in the harsh climate of the Indonesian Islands for millions of years. Fossils, from 50,000 years ago, show they used to live in Australia once upon a time! Due to the increasing threats of habitat destruction, poaching and natural disasters, these dragons are considered a vulnerable species.
Komodo dragons eat almost any kind of meat, scavenging for carcasses or stalking animals that range in size from small rodents to large water buffalo. Young feed primarily on small lizards and insects, as well as snakes and birds.
Both animals are capable of aggression, but Komodo dragons are known for their territorial behavior and venomous bite. While a pit bull is a smart and powerful canine, the sheer size and strength of the Komodo dragon make it a formidable opponent. Therefore, the fight would likely not end in the pit bull's favor.
Answer and Explanation: Due to their very large size, full grown adult Komodo dragons do not have natural predators.
Key Points Komodo dragons are much larger than honey badgers, but honey badgers are much faster. Both animals are exceptionally good fighters in close quarters. It would be a close fight! If it was unable to flee, we believe the honey badger would be unable to win this battle.
A Komodo dragon would win a fight against a honey badger. Although honey badgers have a lot of endurance and tenacity, the fact is that they cannot deal fatal damage to the large lizard.
An attack from a Komodo dragon can be fatal—even to humans. Compared to crocodilians and other reptiles, Komodo dragons have relatively weak bite strength. Instead, they rely on their sharp, curved teeth and long, sturdy claws to slash and tear at their prey with astonishing force.
Without our advantage of weapons, we get absolutely rekt. The Komodo dragon has to only get one bite to win, but it can do more than that. If the human wasn't dumb and stuck around, the venom wouldn't even be necessary. So yeah, Komodo dragon takes the win.
There aren't many animals that can survive a Komodo attack. A human and another Komodo are pretty much the only ones.
