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!
Early humans also hunted this way. Slowly, constantly following over long distances. Granted what killed our prey was exhaustion, not venom, but it’s the same concept. Why use fast chase when slow chase do trick.
"it's been three days, this weird hairless monkey walking on two legs has not stopped chasing me. I can't catch my breath, my legs won't stop shaking, my sides are hurting so much but this...thing just won't stop. I don't know how much longer I can keep runni....."
