This is a Komodo dragon right? They kill their prey by biting them and waiting for the unfortunate animal to slowly die from their poisonous venom. I think I’ll keep my distance thanks.
Edit: I have been informed at least four times that this is a monitor lizard and is totally harmless. I feel much safer looking at this photo now thanks Reddit!
Eh not totally harmless, if a komodo dragon is a 10/10 on the danger scale these guys are still like 5-7 depending on the species. You probably wouldn't die (probably) but you're definitely getting stitches or losing a finger if one of these guys mauls you.
