Killer Dragons

The Komodo dragon is the world's biggest lizard and a known man-eater. Highly attuned senses, a lightning-fast attack and a mouth with 60 razor-sharp teeth make it one of the world's most feared predators. Just one bite infects its victim with a deadly infection that kills in days. For years it was thought toxic bacteria in the dragon's saliva was to blame. In 'Killer Dragons' we reveal --for the first time -- that Komodo dragons are also a venomous lizard. The program also investigates the dragon's sensory world and its lifecycle - including the amazing adaptation of 'virgin birth'.
