American Alligator vs Komodo Dragon
Posted on Sun, Mar 29, 2009 @ 10:24 AM
A great suggestion from many readers, this fight pits two of the coolest animals on Earth in battle.
The American alligator normally grows up to 12-15 ft and weigh over 1000 lbs. The Alligator has been known to take down prey as large as a Black Bear. It has the strongest bite force of any animal on Earth and is the apex predator of its habitat.
The biggest Komodo Dragons can grow up to 12 ft and weigh in at 250 lbs. Found only in remote islands of Indonesia, the dragon takes down prey up to 10 times its size, including water buffalo. The Komodo Dragon has no fear of any animal and its saliva contains a deadly mix of bacteria.
This animal fight might well come down to who gets the first bite. If the gator were able to get a clean shot at the dragon, it could snap it in half. However, it says here that the Komodo Dragon will get the first bite 9 out of 10 times, on land or in the water, letting its "venom" kill the alligator and then devouring every bit of it.
