Komodo Dragon’s Surprising Strength

The world’s largest lizard would need 6-8 humans to counter its pulling force. Komodo dragons might appear slow, but they can ambush prey with explosive bursts reaching 20 km/h. Their neck and tail muscles generate impressive force for their size. These ancient reptiles regularly take down prey ten times their weight, including water buffalo. Their low-slung bodies create excellent leverage when pulling carcasses back to feeding areas.
