#Komodo Island and Riga Are the most pristine and remote places in the world. In order to adapt to the challenges of survival, many creatures learned to swim, and many creatures developed special weapons. Today they are still alive in a hundred years of arms race, because in the process of evolution they evolved a weapon that was venom. Each predator carries its own cocktail in perfect combination with their hunting style.

The Komodo male monitor lizard is 3 meters long and weighs 90 kilograms, its jagged teeth are comparable to sharks, and its eyesight is also very good, seeing prey 300 meters away. Its hearing range is limited, but its powerful sense of smell compensates for the lack of hearing. It can show lightning speed if needed. The life of the Komodo dragon is fraught with struggles for dominance. Through the tongue of the Komodo dragon, it can detect carrion or prey up to 45 kilometers away. Previous studies have found that the deadly bacteria of komodo dragons can make prey immobile. According to studies, the carrier of bacteria is saliva, and being bitten by Komodo dragons can cause serious infections. Their bacteria come from dirty ponds if the injured wound is infected by bacteria from the pond. New research confirms that komodo dragons are more terrifying than we thought. The latest research has found that the Komodo dragon is poisonous, with its venom glands hidden just below its jaw. Blood toxins are released into the wound after biting prey, and this toxin acts faster than bacteria. The results of this research have put the Komodo dragon on the top of Komodo Island and Riga Island. Buffalo was brought to the island 200 years ago, and the giant buffalo are generally not food for monitor lizards and are generally not infected by monitor lizards. If an injured buffalo is infected in a dirty pond, the monitor lizard will wait for the buffalo to become infected and die. An infected deer attracted the attention of the Komodo dragon, and the weakening deer was forced to a desperate situation by the Komodo dragon, and the heavily infected deer could no longer form a fighting force, and the monitor lizard only needed to take a bite lightly to let the venom accelerate the deer's death. For the Komodo dragon, it is possible that it will not catch prey for several weeks, so it should eat as much meat as possible, no part of the deer's body will be missed, the hair, hooves will be swallowed clean, and the indigestible parts will be excreted with feces. Eating in the scorching sun is a challenge for monitor lizards, but a mud bath in the mud solves this difficulty. All males need ownership, and Komodo dragons are at the top of the food chain, but they also eat their own kind, so their pups are also at risk of being swallowed by their own kind. Monitor lizards are animals that come with their own hands, what to eat, they only eat meat, an adult monitor lizard digests 70 kilograms of meat every day, because the amount of food is so large, so carrion meat does not mind them.

The hidden clearings in the forest are perfect for ambushing prey, in a pile of fallen leaves from which a stealthy killer is quietly moving. The black-necked cobra can grow up to 1.8 meters long, and it feeds on rats from Riga in this forest. It uses blood toxins like the Komodo dragon, but he also adds neurotoxins to it. This venom will be injected directly into the rats, but the rats will still fight to the death. Snakes will not give up and quickly chase after the fleeing prey. The cobra's strategy is to bite its prey first and then release the toxin, sometimes the rat will also bite back. The snake's neurotoxin kills prey, and after the rat dies, the cobra can swallow the rat more safely and easily. Serum toxins are also beginning to dissolve muscle tissue. Swallowing the teacher allows the cobra to not eat for 5 days.

The ongoing black-necked cobra encounters the Komodo dragon in its hunt, and the cobra evolves a biological weapon that sprays venom comparable to that of sharpshooters. The black-necked cobra has powerful venom glands that shoot out like syringes. The result is that venom can shoot at enemies at a distance and is doubly lethal.

Cobras and monitor lizards are both ground-based activities, and the high canopy is a relatively safe area. But the animals that live in the trees are strange. If you don't have venom protection, you'll need hard armor protection, or you'll need to keep a route to escape. A male flying lizard is courting, but the female is absent-minded, but they are quietly targeted. But the flying lizard put the escape plan into practice, flying from one branch to another. Tree vipers had to change their prey targets.

The venom of tree vipers is also a blood toxin, which is much more toxic than that of komodo dragons. The tree viper belongs to the snake is the nest of poisonous snakes, this snake has a heat-sensitive nest on the face to detect warm-blooded animals, even in the night when five fingers are out of sight, it also uses thermal imaging systems to locate and target prey. However, if you forage in the tree, you will encounter a problem, and if you do not swallow the venom in time after injection, the prey may fall down and fall into the mouth of others. The green tree viper found a solution. The tree viper's neck is very flexible, and the poisonous fangs can send the prey to the right position, and the tree viper can be firmly fixed to the tree. It's a very clever way to avoid competitors on the ground.

The food around the island is abundant and varied. There is a kind of snake in order to facilitate the predation in the sea, the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake learned to catch fish, and it is an important shift for any creature to leave the land and go into the water to hunt. It is the most venomous reptile around the island, 10 times more deadly than the rattlesnake. There is a reason why the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake is so poisonous, it preys on eels, and it wants to poison the eels as much as possible for 10 minutes in the sea, so it has to race against the clock. When the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake preys, it will follow many small fish behind it, waiting for food that will be disturbed when the sea snake passes by. Moray eels are also skilled hunters, but they are also incapacitated against the venom of the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake. After being bitten, a powerful neurotoxin quickly paralyzes the moray eel and is then quickly swallowed underwater. For eels, it is the best way to go. Although the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake preys in the sea, other times they will stay on the island, and other sea snakes will directly give birth to small snakes, but the gray-blue flat-tailed sea snake lays eggs on land, they are one of the most poisonous sea hunters in the world, but there are many incredible candidates.
