    Dude, they’re 300 pounds of pure lizard muscle, venomous, razor teeth, and have very powerful limbs with sharp claws… They sprint at 12mph and take down wild pigs in literal seconds on the regular. There’s no way. Like absolutely no. In a life or death struggle, most adult humans would end up disemboweled or missing a limb and then swallowed whole while still alive, like they do to boars and water buffalo.

    It is a myth that they kill by biting and waiting for infection.

      I get that. Maybe “most” is overstating it for humans as well. But I think you are forgetting choking the thing out. Saying its 10 feet long is misleading. There’s a lot of tail and average size is not 300lbs. That’s max. Average is like 150.

      I think if you can avoid getting bit in the neck, you have a chance.

        This is some of the strongest “I could fight a gorilla” -energy I’ve seen so far

            Stabbing something with sticks with your crew and proper plan and distance is a quite bit different than getting into a wrestling match with a comodo dragon

        This is delusional. You couldn’t even take the boar or water buffallo in a fight unscathed that a komodo dragon kills and swallows whole for lunch.

        Good luck choking out a lizard with a neck that’s probably as strong as your entire body…

        Great, you try choking it. What is stopping it from shredding your arm to bits in two seconds while you try to find a decent grip?
