Instead of victims being slowly poisoned by dirty oral bacteria that would make a dentist cringe, new research shows that the Komodo injects them with venom loaded with toxins that prevent blood from clotting to induce shock. The prey bleeds to death and is eaten, dead or alive, sooner or later.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/komodo-dragon-largest-most-lethal-lizard-earth/12167"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/20245741-62EC-4111-9D01-2F8D343EBAE7" alt="Komodo_dragons_mobbing" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/komodo-dragon-largest-most-lethal-lizard-earth/12167"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/9BBA3B6F-74AB-402F-BF0F-336141EB2F19" alt="Komodo_Dragon_Stalking" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/komodo-dragon-largest-most-lethal-lizard-earth/12167"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/0DC86AE1-A9EC-4EAB-815C-74F9B2E586AF" alt="Komodo_Dragon_Eating_Turkey" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/komodo-dragon-largest-most-lethal-lizard-earth/12167"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/5283C5C7-06CC-4C59-B5D8-04E90B8717B2" alt="Komodo_Dragon_Eating_Deer_Hung_from_a_Tree" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/komodo-dragon-largest-most-lethal-lizard-earth/12167">its strong neck and sharp teeth to slash wounds open, with the venom providing the <EM>coup de grace</EM>, causing the victim to succumb under collapsing blood pressure.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B53D8A76-40F3-44B9-BAD4-E675F516E1BA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
