The 8 Deadliest Cats that Still Lurk the Planet

Nature doesn’t care... it is just straight up violent. And these modern-day dinosaurs are some of the most violent predators on planet Earth.

Komodo dragons are the largest lizard in the world. These lizards get huge, reaching over 10 feet in length and weighing over 200 pounds. These lizards are carnivores, and opportunistic predators, meaning they will eat anything they think they can catch and kill. Their diet includes deer, pigs, dead animals and anything else they can get a hold of. They can also eat up to 80% of their body weight in one meal, leaving them good to go for weeks at a time.

Yes, these are pretty much dinosaurs, and this particular Komodo dragon wanted to show us just how insane they are.

Three of them are seen absolutely shredding a goat that appears to be fed to them. One has to take it a step up and nose dives right into the goats stomach. The Komodo dragon rips into the goat and comes back out with a goat fetus, swallowing it down in one gulp.

I bet that was some tender meat…

Warning... this one isn't for the faint of heart.
