Thanks Rick, do you think my hair suits me like that?
Yes indeed, cannibalism is the reason young Komodos are arboreal. I guess there's very little to eat on those islands..chickens, goats, people or your own species!
Just to tie this into another thread about venom...are you aware of the lethal cocktail of bacteria in a Komodo Dragon's mouth? Apparently these lizards will give one bite then let go of larger prey, certain in the knowledge that infection will quickly bring it down. They then just follow the scent trail and eat the now dead victim. Just like a viper!
