A hypothetical report of a pound snapper is supported by the continued growth of this species throughout its lifespan, which may reach years. The Komodo Dragon stalks the forested lowlands, beaches and plateaus of Indonesia, posing a threat to nearly every living thing as a prehistoric apex predator.
The 10 foot, pound beasts are the largest lizards on Earth, forming microcosm of a prehistoric world where reptiles ruled. Komodos feed on prey as large as water buffalo, and have attacked, disremembered and consumed humans. Such large prey items are charged and knocked down, followed by a vicious attack involving large amounts of flesh being removed. The toxic saliva and bacteria will weaken an animal that does not die right away.

Also, reptile habitats are sometimes cleaned in the kitchen sink, which could cross-contaminate food and eating utensils, which can be a serious risk to both kids and the elderly.
Surfaces such as countertops, tabletops, bare floors, and carpeting can also become contaminated with the bacteria if the turtle is allowed to roam on them. The bacteria may survive for a long time on those surfaces. Proper handling and hygiene practices are extremely important in preventing the spread of the bacteria and keeping you and your family healthy. However, biologists and scientists want to correct this statement.
This is because, if you look at it, most of the animals that are considered as poisonous are actually venomous. Poisonous animals are most often amphibians, like toads, frogs, and salamanders.
Their skin carries toxic poisons that they secrete as a self-defense mechanism. However, venomous animals are most often snakes that transfer their venom through a single bite. Image Source. However, there have been reported cases of mortality of having consumed meat from the hawksbill turtles. This specific case occurred in the South Pacific Island of Tonga, where 18 people became sick from eating this hawksbill meat.
Out of the 18 sick people, it has been recorded that 2 of them have died due to this problem. There have been reported cases of mortality from consumption of hawksbill turtle meat. This happened in the South Pacific Island of Tonga where 18 people became sick from eating hawksbill meat. Two of them subsequently died. If the birds reject the liver, the hawksbill is toxic. When turtles are kept in captivity, the conditions could sometimes be unhygienic as they are practically walking or swimming around in their own toilet.
