PIG IS DINNER for KOMODO DRAGON-sized Lizard

Typical feeding day at reptile compound.

A sweet lovable lizard. ❤

Frozen-thawed feeder pig is fed to large Komodo dragon-sized Varanus salvator to demonstrate Asian water monitor's natural ability to engulf large food items. Evolutionary adaptation.

Video filmed on September 15, 2017.

Video is part of a body of work on the science of reptile feeding behavior that supported a master's thesis in zoology. Currently working on PhD in reptile venom research.

As seen in video, the lizard, similar to an Anaconda, smells using tip of tongue which rubs against a jacobson's organ (located roof of mouth) and the forked tongue--split into two tines at the tip--is believed to allow them to sense from which direction "stereoscopically" a smell originates.

Following scent trails based on chemical cues is called tropotaxis. It's unclear whether forked-tongued reptiles can actually follow trails or if this is just a hypothesis. Study the video, what do you think?

Video is for the citation for junior high school, and high school science reports. Also recommended for college and graduate level source citation for zoological biostatistics.

Filmed with the University of Guadalajara for Biological and Agricultural Sciences, the division of Biological and Environmental Science Division, at the department of Botany and Zoology.

अपनी दावत का आनंद लेती छिपकली
यह एक बोहत ही प्यारी छिपकली है। हम उससे बहुत प्यार करते हैं।
कतरने वाले जानवर जैसे चूहे मॉनिटर छिपकली के प्राकृतिक आहार का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा हैं।

Isang bayawak nasisiyahan sa pagkain. Ito ay isang malambing at mapagmahal na bayawak. Mahal na mahal namin siya. Ang mga daga ay importanteng bahagi ng minomotor na natural na diyeta ng isang bayawak.

Kadal suka makan. Ini adalah kadal yang manis dan lucu. Kami sangat menyayanginya. Hewan pengerat adalah bagian penting dari diet alami kadal.

ஒரு பல்லி ஒரு விருந்தை அனுபவிக்கிறது.

இது ஒரு இனிமையான அன்பான பல்லி. நாம் அதை மிகவும் நேசிக்கிறோம்.
கொறிக்கும் பிராணிகள் ஒரு மானிட்டர் பல்லியின் இயற்கை உணவில் முக்கியமான பகுதியாகும்.

ఒక బల్లి ఒక విందు ఆనందిస్తుంది. ఇది ఒక మంచి ప్రేమించదగిన బల్లి. మాకు అది అంటే ఎంతో ఇష్టం. ఎలుకలు మానిటర్ బల్లి యొక్క సహజ ఆహారంలో ముఖ్యమైన భాగం.

After being fired from the show, Peppa Pig's brother, Georgie, falls into the life of drugs and gambling. After falling into debt, a mob boss decided it was time for him to pay up. This is the police footage found at the scene.

Mom:- "Invest your time in studying"
Me:- **Watching a lizard eating a piglet**

[ZfromDa]

"What are you doing during your sunday night?" Oh nothing watching a lizard eat a pig

[drgonphart]

People: nooo they’re feeding it a dead pig
The same people the next day: *eats bacon*

Edit: Imma be honest, I made this comment the most standard, brainless comment that you’d see on basically any video to see if people would like it. I don’t even believe in what I said in this comment. Honestly this is just sad that people so many people find this sort of comment entertaining.

Vegan: "i choose to be vegan to protect nature"

I have this feeling that animals that swallow their food whole enjoy their meals less than those that chew every bite for a while before swallowing it.

[xXxJokerManxXx]

4:00 "Hey, this monitor lizard is known to swallow entire young pigs without difficulty, quick let's have this slightly bigger toddler take a selfie with it!!" 🤣🤣🤣

[Gamera-nbcr]

Ignore the dislikes, People can't seem to understand that we eat pigs a LOT! Unless most of the dislikes are from vegans, Which idk why they would be watching this in the first place!
I love your channel btw!
