6. Komodo Dragon
Found in Indonesia, Komodo dragons are extremely fast, can climb trees, are excellent swimmers and if the wind is blowing in the right direction, can smell lunch from 5 miles away. They lie in ambush and often use their strong tails to take down prey.
“Komodo dragons eat by tearing large chunks of meat and swallow them whole while (holding) the carcass down with their front legs. . . . The dragon’s reputation as a man eater is well deserved, it does not seem to fear humans and many attacks and deaths were reported.” (Source: Animal Unique)
