I could survive a bite long enough to kill the beast and get airlifted to the hospital.
You have no idea how hard i choke and how easily i could squeeze the life out of one of these dumb animals. You've never seen a rear naked choke performed on this beast so what you're saying is unrealistic rubbish. Their bite is weaker then a house cat from what im reading. Sorry.
The world's largest living lizard, the fearsome Komodo dragon, has a bite weaker than a house cat's, researchers say.
Though known for killing prey much larger than itself, the Komodo relies on its razor-sharp teeth, strong neck muscles, and "space frame" skull to subdue its prey, according to a new study.
Using computer models, researchers from Australia's University of New South Wales analyzed a Komodo specimen from the Australian Museum in Sydney.
Measuring the forces and composition of the lizard's skull, the researchers found that its jaw is not designed for crushing.
"The bite is really quite incredibly weak for such a big lizardless than you'd expect from the average house cat," said Stephen Wroe, an author of the study, which was recently published in the Journal of Anatomy.
If a Komodo actually tried to crush prey with its jaws, like crocodiles do, "it would break its own skull," he said.
The Komodo dragon, a type of monitor lizard, can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) long and is native to the Indonesian islands that include Komodo and Flores (see map).
Listed as a vulnerable species by the World Conservation Union, about 4,000 to 5,000 Komodos remain in the wild.
Still a Precision Killing Machine
Despite its flimsy bite, the researchers said, the Komodo has other physical traits in its favor that make it an able predator.
"What's really interesting is that it has a lightweight skull and weak jaw, but it has optimized the way the skull structure and material is arranged," Wroe said.
Likening the lizard's skull to the design of a bridge, Wroe said its "space frame" structure "uses minimal amounts of material to resist forces."
So all this talk of escaping its bite are false. Its bite is pathetically weak. I stomp on that dudes head with some timberlands and its over. Its skull is pathetically weak. To me it would be like stomping on egg shells. What you dont understand is most people think like you, cowardly. They see a beast like this and think more about escaping then standing their ground and facing the beast. Many lives could have been saved if there wasnt that bytch in them telling them *you're gonna die, you better run* This animal is alot less dangerous then a viking. I have nothing to fear here.
at mowgs in this thread...
but i doubt it
One knee to a vikings gut hes thinking about self preservation not how my flesh taste. All biting it going to do is piss me off. Been there done that. It had no effect on me cept made me punch them while they were unconcious. Dont bite. It may get you killed instead of beat into a coma.
You gonna get chased till you exhausted n just lay there trying not to move so it doesnt eat you to viciously?
