  • and we thought Reptiles were abhorrent.

  • @CantusTropus Some say 'reptiles are abhorrent'.

    I say 'mammals are boring', though avian species are still cool.

  • @VollyTyrannis I say mammals are overrated. If it wasn't for that meteor, reptiles would still be ruling the earth. But no, mammals have taken almost every niche and the other animals may never get the earth back. ='(

  • they adults look nothing like the babies, the babies look like nile monitors :/

  • Awww they are so cute :D A friend of mine work with baby komodos in a park in Texas I am SO jealous. They are awesome!

  • 可愛い!!!

  • I swear I thought he gonna attack that man

  • GOD THEY ARE SOOO AWESOOMEE AND SOOO CUTE I WANT ONE

  • Those baby komodo dragons were probably the most adorable reptilians I have ever seen. Speaking of which, that scene where the guy petted the adult dragon's head was just a moment of heartwarming, I mean I didn't even know Komodo Dragons were capable of enjoying such a simple act.

    On another note, did anyone happen to watch the video for two minutes before an advertisement popped up, lasted a minute, and then forced you to watch the whole thing over again.

  • Fuck that, I will never touch this thing I could be killed.

  • We've named one of our laptop sleeves the "Komodo" to help raise awareness about this incredible and endangered animal. Feel free to stop by our shop to show your support (a percentage of annual profits go towards organizations that protect these animals, among others). Have a great, GreenSmart day!

  • Thats an insult to humanity, study the animals but don't worry about there breeding.

    Just curious, has there ever been a case of animals that have been successfully saved from extinction??

  • We have hungry africans and asians, and your worrying about animals!!

  • @FATAL12SKILLZ hahahahahahaha. wow, that's the funniest shit I've heard all week.

  • @FATAL12SKILLZ But animals are far more important than people.

  • @Kingcobrasaurus nonsense.

  • @Kingcobrasaurus by the way i'm not saying kill elephants for there ivory and I'm totally against animal cruelty but Humans first/ Animals second. Thats why we kill them and eat them

  • @FATAL12SKILLZ we lived in harmony darling, yes we have hungry peoples all over, and we do have lot of actions to help that as well, its not like everyone totaly ignored humanity and then focus on saving animal .,....its all about balance while some peoples help society others try to save animals.......u need to change how skeptical the way u look at things

  • komodo's are amaizing

  • 0:48 "The badass" komodo dragon

    0:53 "the dork" komodo dragon

  • i want one ! even thou the bait is fatal! 8-)

  • itd be funny if you mistaken a komodo dragon for a small kind of reptile and left the baby komodo dragon inside an aquarium. one year later when you were going to check it, he wasnt there anymore :D

  • Dear Santa ...

  • They're only cute as babies and they're horrible as adults with all that drool.

  • where is the fire out of their mouth???

  • They look animated for some reason rofl

  • THIS PROVES DRAGONS ARE REAL >XV

  • i heard that komodo dragons can be big as my freind, and he is FRIGGN TALL

  • Dammmmm dude that's sooo awesome that the guy was petting one. Damm I wanna pet the dragon.

  • The babies are so cute!! End result ..........scary

  • @Missmaree13 the story of my life.

  • They are dieing off really quickly. Save the Dragons!!!

  • @Dealow12 Oh terrific another bad grammar teenager who gets an account here, puts his age as 30 and does nothing but troll on videos all day. Kid, you wouldn't have the balls to pull the trigger. Komodo dragons are necessary, you however are not. Closing your account would be a good idea if trolling is all you're going to do here every day.

  • @Zindkeeper another teenager who does not demonstrate proper grammar*

    your comment is ironic sir.

  • @alaskamanish Bad grammar teenager is a word phrase, there's nothing ironic about my comment. You fail at trying to correct me.

  • @Dealow12 Why would you want these amazing creatures to be extinct

  • @Thestuddlyrabbit

    Probably your typical "OMG REPTILES ARE EVIL!!1one1" person.

  • Can someone please explain to me how these people aren't getting attacked??

  • I love komodo dragons their so awsome!!!

  • at 1:35 the dragon is like ^____^

    Beautiful creatures.

  • They look so different as babies.

  • aaah i love the komodo when he close his eyes at when that guy is petting him :3

    such cute!

  • Dear god, they're adorable!

  • why do we need komodo dragons?

  • @Cidantis why do you need to live? cause i dont need you to be alive

  • @PRIDGEN6 thats what i said right after blowing your mom and before killing her

  • @Cidantis thanks for giving her some head before you killed her you dumbass

  • @PRIDGEN6 oh you wouldnt thank me if you saw the fucked up look on her face right before i cut her tits off

  • @Cidantis seriously? well at least you got to see some tits for once your killing yourself man you should probably just shut the fuck up and stop talking hard on the keyboard cause im done with this shit

  • @Cidantis They're quite necessary. They get rid of pests for example.

  • If it wasn't for their monster bite, I would love to have one of these guys for a pet! That would sure scare off any unwanted guests.

  • its like a baby bieber. ppl think its cute and its vicous

  • it looks like a Baby velociraptor...

  • 1:30

    Seeing that komodo dragon being pet like a housecat was suprisingly adorable. X3

  • Yes, but the way the ate reminded me of something, though I forgot what.

  • @Retrocky when a Komodo dragon bites a human, not only can they break your arm of but their saliva consists of deadly bacteria. In other words your dead.O.o yet they are cute.

  • @cyphor09 They are adorable arent they, if they are 100 ft away...

  • @cyphor09 I think that's only true of wild komodos though. I believe the bacteria is a result of them often scavenging on rotting flesh of dead animal.

  • @TuringMachine17

    Recent studies revealed that its not only the powerful bacterial cocktail in their saliva that makes them deadly,but they're also venomous!Their teeth have small vent tubes similar to a snake’s were they inject poison from a venom gland in their head,consisting of various toxic proteins that lead to inhibition of blood clotting, paralysis, hypothermia, lowering of blood pressure and loss of consciousness.So that makes their bite amongst the most dangerous in the animal kingdom

  • Our mosa'f acoustic, invites us all vote KOMODO, is The New 7 Wonders of the World ...

    please click on the song "KOMODO KEBANGGAAN"

    THANK YOU

  • 1:53

  • Cute!

  • i want one as a pet :D

  • Oh god they're so cute. . . . You know, not all Reptiles Are Abhorrent.

  • @Saphruikan all baby creatures are super cute...except human babies, blehhh

  • @crazyeyes981 Oh yeah? what about the Snott Otter

  • @NemanorTheAlmighty any otter by definition is cute =) snott otter is just a wetter, less furry version

  • @NemanorTheAlmighty You got a problem with the Snotter, pal?

  • @Saphruikan TvTropes lead you here to?

  • @stereomaxout

    TvTropes leads me everywhere.

  • @Saphruikan Another fellow Troper here.

  • @ub3r2008

    Hell ya.

  • @Saphruikan TV Tropes sucks.

  • they are just goin to grow up to eat these people

  • @djchuckdeez they don't eat live people

  • hooooly shit that man just petted a komodo dragon. 

  • I wouldn't go near that mofo

  • lol those hatchies look more like lace monitors!

  • i want a pet komodo dragon!

  • @YTesko1r2d229 if you wanna die then i think go ahead! Its poisionous, lasts 30 years or more and the are very very vicious

  • @YTesko1r2d229 Komodo Dragons would make horrible pets, but a lot of other monitors are fine. (such as black rough neck, savannah, nile, ect.)

  • @YTesko1r2d229 well... itd be cool and all, but theyre very dangerous reptiles... so not the most ideal pet to have...

  • @YTesko1r2d229

    i dont, they kill people easily.

  • @YTesko1r2d229 me too!

  • @YTesko1r2d229 u would be dead in about a year if u a had one

  • @TheDemonsBureau- I HOPE ITS A FALSE REPORT ! I never knew a monitor I didn't like ! However with this recent data on the Komodo Dragon I have no problem with anyone being cautious aound such a magnificent creature; wouldn't you agree?

  • beautiful komodo 

  • Reptiles are so cute :D

  • @Warkando121 Yeah, i don't know why i post that i was hyponotised by thier cuteness. Another thing is if you make them angry then they can kill you that may be rare but it can happen anytime so yeah pretty tough job to handle those guys.

  • the lady in the video has perfect eyebrows lol

  • varanus komodoensis:) i love varanus!!!

  • Breed it with a bat :D

  • A recent report has revealed that these lizards have venomous glands along their jaw line behind the teeth. It was previously held that a bacteria laden mouth rapidly infected the bite wounds thus causing death. So this species can now join the ranks of poisonous repitle with the Beaded Lizard and the Gila Monster. Are the babies all ready born with the lethal poison ? I guess somebody will fined out the hard way. Just handling these youngsters, sooner or later its bound to happen.

  • @70bonnie false

    that only happens in the wild from eating rotten meat which creates a deadly bactera which they use to spit along the grass to kill pray.venom must be injected they have non.monitors have the gland but produces nothing

  • 1:35 I've seen everything now.

  • Such beautiful cretures, i want a little baby and raise it and breed them!

  • KOMODO DRAGONS! ♥

  • In my original country there is Komodo dragons, Orangatans,and new species! i'm proud I was born there! (FYI the country I'm talking about is Indonesia it's full of life) :) ;) :D ;D =D 8) <3

  • komodo dragons walk like they're wearing a godzilla latex costume.

  • D'awwww, what pretty little critters! Too bad they don't always look that way, they're be even MORE AWESOME....Nono, that level of awesomeness would break reality.

  • and one day it will eat you!:)!!!

  • @darkservanttoheaven Yes! I also own a beardie. They're great!

  • Im glad to know Im not the only one who thinks that the komodo dragon as remarkablely bueatiful and awsome creatue

  • hehe komodo dragons have two willies :L

  • Casper looks pretty small, can't be more than a couple years old, probably in it's adolecense. Full grown dragons can grow as large as 10 feet long, which is much bigger than a human. I can't imagine that any zoos keep decade old dragons in captivity though.

  • @GhoullyXX

    His name's actually Castor. I visit the Denver Zoo quite a bit, and he's the biggest dragon they have now.

  • that thing is not 150 lbs..somebody is lying...its so huge omg! i just cant believe it could be just 150 lbs

  • not all lizards that are called "dragons" are big. Take the bearded dragon. They grow to only be around 1 foot to 2 feet long.

  • @EternalLuv6 but arnt the little guys cute? I own bearded dragons...

  • Sooooo cute their my favorite animal

  • I love reptiles but i would not feel compelled to pet a dragon, as a handler I would be to cautious not to make contact or be in to close of their proximity.

  • cant the babies bite and kill the workers cuz of their toxic venom? Or do adults only have that.

  • @JessesVideoz It's actually not venom, it's just a cestpool of several types of bacteria that cause infection. Antibiotics can stop it I think.

  • @JessesVideoz

    The reason Komodo Dragon bites are so dangerous is because they have over 50 strands of different bacteria in their saliva. They have no venom.

  • @JessesVideoz To actually ANSWER your question, no I don't think that's much of a possibility. The danger, as has been stated before, comes from the Dragon's bacteria. Said bacteria generally comes about due to a dragon's rather poor eating habits. They indulge in scavenging their food from corpses.

  • Alright i remember watching a channel about komodo dragon, to kill a large prey they bite it a couple times and the bacteria from the komodo dragons saliva kills the prey in a week or 2.

  • @JessesVideoz komodo doesnt have venoms.

  • Petting a komodo dragon wow....

  • not so adorable when they grow full size and can take down a cow with on bite :L

  • why they are called by dragons? they dosen´t looks like dragons... i think...

  • @Zamppu they're called dragons cause they're so damn big

  • @Zamppu when they're big they looks like a dragon. and also, western dragon looks almost like that, although komodo dragon dont have any wings :P

  • Tim gets the 'Badass of the Millennium' award.....

    He stroked a komodo dragon.

  • Play from 1:00. Imagine you were shipwrecked on an island and this walked past xD I'd cr4p it haha

  • i get a boner just looking at these things.i mean what?

  • i wonder if they ever release them into the wild?

  • @DementedDolphin Well, there fed, so they have a 50-50 chance of survival chance, factoring in other komodos it's probably 60 die 40 live

  • so many thumbs up :)

  • Komodo dragons got swagger

  • so cute @ 1:30 

  • I'd love to have a pet komodo dragon. I'd call him Yoshi haha. I'd make sure he was super fat so I could rub his belly.

  • I was just waiting for that bloke's hand to disappear in a spray of blood.

    "This is Castor the Dragon. He's a very curious dragon, very friendly, likes to be OH MY GOD HE ATE MY HAND!!!!"

  • daawww the babies are so cute!!

  • That komodo was all like OMNOMNOM

  • What a BOSS! ate that Rat like it was nothing but a cookie.

  • i love Komodo dragons!!!!!! 

  • damn they fucking eat the rats without champ just like water

  • Komodo dragons are BADASS.

  • dang compare those captive ones to wild ones

  • i want one

  • my favorite animal next to skunk and raven

  • The hatching egg reminds me of the part in Jurrassic park. The comodo looks like the baby Velociraptor in the movie.

  • Komodo pihevi rölölö!1

  • @a2406 Mieeeesss....

  • @a2406 Heikkii...

  • @DarknessMaster55 It's not a real dragon, its just a reptile... only their name has anything to do with dragons, besides the rough skin and such. but not a real dragon

  • @knuckleheadnick

  • WoW, Wonderful Animal :O

  • i live in near the khatulistiwa area and i saw this komodo dragon on the road. my family was like, "who put that scary looking doll outside their house?"

    i said, "THAT'S A FRICKING KOMODO DRAGON!"

    to prove that it's alive, the komodo dragon slithers its tongue.

    gosh, that was scary. shud have taken a picture. darn it.

  • the traveller who told us about the islands said that they are really very dangerous and they have poisonous tongues

  • @churchsinger yea, but they sure loveeee to eat chickens.
