This place is cool.

It reminds me of a lost island with prehistoric monsters.

Look at the size of these tracks!

They're huge!

It must be a Komodo Dragon.

I can't wait to see one.

You won't have to wait long, Martin.

All: Huh?

Chris: Jump!

All: Ah!

(Martin laughing) Wow, the largest living lizard in the world!

He's getting into position near the water hole.

Wow!

He's gigantic.

Phew!

It looks like he's sleeping.

He's not sleeping.

What?!

He's hunting.

So don't let your guard down.

He's lying there, waiting for prey.

Uh, I think I'll go back to the Tortuga now.

Bye.

Look, a Water Buffalo!

Okay, reality check.

As big as that lizard is, there is no way a Komodo Dragon can take down a water buffalo like that.

Koki: Right, that's for sure.

Oh, yes, there is.

Watch!

He waits motionless, trying not to be seen.

And when least expected, he strikes!

(buffalo mooing) Biting at the buffalo.

(dramatic music) See?

The Water Buffalo got away.

For now.

But the Komodo Dragon got a bite.

You see, this lizard has a lot of sharp teeth and venom in its mouth.

So, even though the Water Buffalo got away, the venom is starting to work.

And, in about a week, the buffalo will weaken and die from blood loss and infection.

But how does that help the Komodo Dragon?

He won't even know where it is by then.

That's where the Dragon's tongue comes in.

When the water buffalo dies, it will begin to smell.

See the Dragon's tongue?

Komodo Dragons can taste smell on the air.

He moves his head from side to side, tasting the air.

And whichever side has a stronger smell taste, that's the direction the Komodo Dragon goes in.

Chris: Looks like he's onto something.

Let's follow him.

And the fork in the tongue gives the tongue two sides, so the Dragon can taste which side the smell is strongest on.

That's how they zero in.

That's how they can find it.

See?

Sí, I see.

Look.

He smelled out a wild hog carcass.

As long as there's enough to go around, these giant lizards will feed together.

Actually, tugging against each other helps them eat.

But sometimes...

They don't like to share.

(hissing) That's when... Martin and Chris: They battle!

Martin: Strong arms!

Chris: Sharp claws!

(thudding) Martin: Powerful tail.

Chris: Oh, sharp teeth!

And it's over.

We've got to experience that creature power.

We have got to add a Komodo Dragon Power disc to our collection.

Right, Aviva?

Aviva: I'm on it!

Koki: And I'll try to find Gourmand.
