Komodo Venom and its Effects | Earth Unplugged 

Guy: Sorry Montey. Monte: 🗿 Guy: Yep, I'm forgiven. Monte: 🗿

This guy kissed and petted a Komodo dragon like it’s a cute lil puppy

The fact that Monty didn't give a Brian a demonstration on how his venom works on living tissue probably means he's forgiven.

Snake venom makes your blood into a solid brick by clotting it and Komodo dragon blood keeps it in liquid form by not letting it clot, that’s really interesting

Man: Me and Monty have an understanding *Proceeds to shove object in mouth*

Bald guy : "this venom is deadly" 'kiss the dragon'

I’ve fallen down a Komodo rabbit hole and I was so shocked to see an almost domesticated Komodo dragon. Biggest and most dangerous lizard on earth, and this guy has seemingly no predatory instinct. Even ‘domesticated’ crocs and gators always require a deft hand when they get big enough, but monty seems to be an exception. Like a deadly, scaled dog.

I remember not too long ago the fact that komodo dragons were venomous was highly debated. Now we have individuals like Monty who are willing to put up with some jiggery pokery to give us ready samples of dragon venom. What a gentleman.

He protec He atacc but most importantly he let you pet his bacc

"You forgive me?" *smooch* Lizard: "Yeah, I'm forgiven."

When I clicked on a video with a tube of blood in the thumbnail, I wasn't expecting the first thing I see to be a big ass lizard getting overwhelmingly wholesome good boi pets and visibly loving every second of it 😅

Monty has such expressive eyes. I don't think most people expect to see personality or emotional expression from reptiles. Hopefully more people will now.

Animals: *create venom to kill things* Humans: I bet we can use this to save lives.

Researcher: "I'm forgiven." Monty: "I can't even look at you."

This Komodo Dragon just behaves like a little kitty closing its eyes when treated nicely. So sweet. 🥰

“we have a bit of an understanding….” •proceeds to triple team him to get some venom out•

*Most Komodo dragons:* always angry, aggresive, untouchable *Monty:* I don't know what's going on, what are you or why are you sticking something in my mouth but I will let you pet me anyway because i love you (｡ ◕‿‿◕｡)

no one is talking about how nice Monty is. you're such a good boy monty.

Awe Monty is so sweet you can see in his clear eyes his calmness.

When he closed his eyes when human petted it, it was so cute. I think our hands are magical, even the dragon enjoyed being petted!

Komodo: we are venom

Komodo Dragon: *is one of the most dangerous predators on our planet* Researcher guy: "I'm gonna pet and kiss it

This is a pretty good example of the difference between fear and a phobia or irrational fear. I was fine when he was sticking his fingers near the dragon's mouth. Then I saw the needle when he was drawing blood and that legitimately raised my heartrate. I'm more scared of needles than something that could 100% kill me without trying.

Aww, Monty is such a cute little death machine. You can tell he loves his human papa very much :)

Look into its cold, dead, unfeeling eyes and tell me it's not the cutest animal you've ever seen

Monty is super calm and helpful

"Monty is such an accommodating animal" Yea no exaggerations there buddy. He's also very docile it's crazy...😳

JOHNNY SINS DOING EVERYTHING NOWADAYS

I love how he squints his lil eyes when he gets pet, like a dog almost

I'd never get that close to that reptile. These guys are really brave. And professional

Monty is just so chill, I love it. Such beautiful reptiles are the Komodo dragons.

1:31 The tree gracefully covers the baldness of that kind man.

I remember back in the day when people thought the bacterial infection from a Komodo Dragon bite was what killed you, then they found out there was actually venom! That was an amazing discovery!

Truly an amazing discovery, blood clotting has both positive and negative sides.

Super interesting and educational. Thank you for posting.

snake venom : clotting your blood vessels, so the blood cant transport the oxygen komodo venom : disable the blood ability to clot, so basically you're bleeding to death nature can be both terryfing and amazing..

I thought he was going to inject the venom into himself.

Didn’t expect Monty to be chill like that

Incredible! Outstanding!

Okay but you can’t deny how cute it was for the Komodo dragon to close it’s eyes as it was getting petted

This is really weird. I never knew you could get into close contact with this animal.

What a cute komodo dragon. Fascinating research.

It’s amazing how much that dragon trusts you

Who's a good ancient killing machine?

Johnny sins really takes his job seriously!

Outstanding amount of information in short time fantastic 👏

Beautiful research

The komodo looks kinda cute...Monty's eyes are very pretty...

Who else thought he was going to inject the venom in his veins

You, sir, are much more brave than myself..... Monty is a lovely creature indeed.

Love the relationship between them, shows the level of respect they have towards each other.

He wore gloves when he draw his own blood, but barehanded when he collect Monty’s venom. Logic.

Love these BBC nature docs. The Brits stay calm, cool, and collected while in the company of Nature's most potentially dangerous creatures. This guy with the Komodo, Attenborough and the mountain gorilla.

Monty does not forgive or forget.

This research would make a good natural alternative for after surgeries as way to prevent blood clots which could lead to serious problems or death.

i love how wise monty looks "silly human. i'll let you live this once."

Bald guy: “ We have discovered the cure for cancer” Big Pharmaceutical CO: “Kill that man his lizard and any evidence of this video”

What a great idea, very brave man, thank you

Monty seems chill. Didn't know they were calm like that even in captivity.

When he pull his shirt up, I thought he would inject that venom to his body Edit add 1:24

That is the most chill Komodo I've ever seen.

1:15 But Brian wasn't forgiven.... Monty the Komodo dragon wanted revenge and began plotting that night. He waited for Brian to drift off to sleep in his quarters. For whatever reason, Monty never understood why Brian made him chew on those rubber tubes. Brian seemed like a good friend. He'd always give Monty back rubs and neck pats, but then he would get angry, and use the rubber tubes, forcing Monty to bite down on them. Was this for Brian's own amusement? Torture? Was it for the fact that Monty wasn't a real dragon? Monty wasn't sure, but he knew he could not let these vile act continue. Monty had acquired the same rubber tubes used against him from the animal jail-house supply room earlier that day. He snuck into Brian's room that night quiet as to not wake the other Komodo slavers up. For a brief moment Monty considered going after the rest of them but realized Brian was the true orchestrator of his pain. He quickly decided against it and continued crawling into Brian's room with tubes in scaly hand. There was his master, lying peacefully on his bed. Monty gazed upon Brian's face one last time with disgust and then whipped the evil chew cords out. He inserted them into Brian's mouth. Brian of course woke up and frantically wiggled but Monty would not relent. "Yes," Monty said, "Bite down on that rubber hose bitch....you don't stop until I tell you..." Brian let out a silent and muffled shriek that went unheard as Monty continued using his scaly hands to clamp Brian's mouth down around the rubber tubes. And the camera pans away. Some say to this day that Monty is still forcing Brian to chew on those rubber tubes... giving him back rubs and neck pats as a means of mocking him just as Brian had done to him. Other say Brian somehow escaped and ran off never to return. Of course this was out of fear of a talking murderous Komodo dragon. Only time will tell what really happened that night.

Amazing!

A paper cut mixed with Monty's venom has never been more deadly.

Idk but I this komodo in this clip is cute, the way he close his eyes when he was petted just crush me

Thanks monty

Lol I love how he kisses Monte asking for forgiveness and rubs him and Montes face was like " yeah we cool " lol 1:14

That bald guy looked like he's going to be a super villain

Komodo: Snake can I copy your venom? Snake: Sure just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious Komodo: Ok

“The ability to create new super drugs” *Tyrone Biggums enters the chat*

Good stuff

Beautiful

No one: Brian: *casually pets a Komodo dragon*

Look at the guns on that lizard, god damn.

I love this channel

Very Interesting 👍👍👍

Thanks, Lex Luthor.

I legit thought that he’s going to inject the venom into his body

Sehr gute Arbeit

They make it sound like they were just first to test venom effect on blood, amazing :O

People: You can't make make medicine out of a dangerous venom Saitama: Hold my lizard

Weird dog.. It have venom too...

Wow! Monty is the mellow sweet fellow!

What a lovely creature

So cute when it closes his eyes when you stroke it

"Me and monte have an agreement." *Says the guy forcing rubber into his mouth*

Never thought I would live to see Komodo Dragon smile 😊

That's really great..hope it helps in saving human disease

"We have an understanding" *Shoves unkown object into his mouth against his will* 🤣🤣🤣

"No! I don't WANNA bite! I'm a PACIFIST!" - Lizard, probably.

A sweet Komodo dragon. Mind blown.

Monty you’re such sport, good boy 🥰🥰

"We have an understanding" *lets hold him down against his will*

Just him Petting and kissing Monty is just pure..

No gloves or safety glasses!? This guy is insane

Anyone watch monster bug wars as a kid? This guy was one of the experts there

A deadly hunter known for its power and patience, and it loves a good back rub

I never thought a Komodo dragon would be kinda cute

Monte has very beautiful and clever eyes, what a marvellous beast!

I love how cute and nice the Komodo dragon he is, but you gotta understand it’s a literal Komodo dragon so don’t even mess with it.
