 Bacterial saliva

i just wanted to tell you guys if you didn’t know that komodos aren’t venomous. what they do is bite something like a deer and let it run off. the deer slowly dies from bacteria in the komodos saliva. the komodo gets this saliva by eating a carcass that is decaying. this means that a komodo for example in a zoo doesnt have bacterial saliva i just want the people that ask if a komodo is venomous wont ask the same thing over and over

look up dr.frye and stop bringing this up. the whole reason he investigated it was because a komodo at the zoo that had only been fed fresh prey bit someone and the person almost died. not from bacteria but from venom. readLink

captive born. just look up venom and monitors you will find all kinds of new research proving it.

the people who keep bringing it up never look at the links in previous discussions or look into it their selvs. i own monitors i know they have nasty bites. my fiance reacts differently to the bites than i do. much like bee stings. it affects people differently but it is venom non the less.

check into it. it is breaking research. the whole point of the research is nobody knew these animals contained venom.

it is further proof of evolution. gilla monsters and beaded lizards are not random freaks of nature. but more closely related to monitors.

seriously look it up. dr. frye is very reputable.
