A shark found dead on the edge of a beach has become a big problem for a passing Komodo dragon. The prehistoric predator did not think twice and completely swallowed the sea animal.

A video posted on social media shows the entire feeding process of the animal, which took several minutes to devour the prey.

The Komodo dragon completely devoured its prey

Taking his time, the predator slowly swallowed the creature he found in the sand until he finally finished his meal.

In the publication, Internet users were surprised by the animal’s ability to swallow such a large species.

“Mother Nature is amazing, nothing is wasted in the natural world,” one said. “A real prehistoric creature,” another commented.

Another user noted that the shark will soon be dissolved by the stomach of the Komodo dragon, which is known for its acids and poison.

“The Komodo Islands have some of the strongest stomach acids known in the animal kingdom, so a large shark cannot stay large in its intestines for long.”
