Killer Dragons

Killer Dragons

Synopsis:
The Komodo dragon is the world's biggest lizard and a known man-eater. 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 recent killing of a young boy adds poignancy to the story as we explore if it's possible for humans and dragons to share the same territory.
