Not if your body doesn't need those calories. You end up shitting out an excess. Not sure if that dude needs the calories or not, maybe he does.
If your survival is dependent upon ambushing a deer, you don't pass up a meal. Kind of like driving through the desert when you come upon a gas station in the middle of nowhere. You have a half a tank, but you go ahead on and fill er up just to be safe. That monster was on half a tank and wasn't taking any chances.

I agree, but that wasn't my point. He mentioned that the Komodo dragon would be putting on some serious weight with that deer, but that's not the case because it's just a ton of excess calories. Maybe I'm wrong though, and the Komodo dragon slowly processes his food like a snake does?

Just check about intake/burn rate/out go with your boy Mingo. He's one of our resident know-it-alls...

I just Googled it and that's exactly the case. A Komodo dragon sometimes will eat only once a month because it has such a slow metabolism. So it does digest food very slowly. So no wasted calories there.

I hope he doesn’t swim for at least 30 minutes. He’ll get cramps and drown

Even though I think that they are pretty capable, I agree. Something's off in the video.

Not as moronic as the dude who had 2 or 3 of those at his apartment as pets. Take a guess at what happened to him weeks later when he did not show up at work.

I had an irrational fear of Komodo dragons as a kid… now I am not so sure it was irrational

Owls do that too. Reason #324 why owls don't make good pets.
