Can you survive a Komodo dragon bite? - Achmad Ariefiandy

Dig into what we know about Komodo dragons, and find out what you should do if you encounter these giant lizards in the wild. -- Clambering through the bush on one of Indonesia’s Lesser Sunda Islands, suddenly you spy a Komodo dragon in the clearing ahead. Forked tongue flickering; sharp, saw-like teeth glimmering; and strong, scaly body stretching up to 3 meters, Komodo dragons are formidable. So, what should you do? Are you doomed? Achmad Ariefiandy shares what we know about the world's largest lizards. Lesson by Achmad Ariefiandy, directed by Denys Spolitak.
