Komodo Dragon makes people feel frightened not only by its fierce appearance, but more importantly by the presence of violent toxins and bacteria. It usually slowly approaches its prey and then takes a cold bite, as long as it is sure that it really bites, then the dragons are relieved, and it is free to let the prey escape. Usually, these prey will not run far, and the dragons will slowly follow until the poor prey is poisoned, and then it becomes the dragon's meal.
