The shark wins. At best it’s a tie after it succumbs to the venom.

[dinosauria101]

Well, the Komodo doesn't really NEED the venom technically - it too has deadly serrated teeth. Venom just increases blood loss.

That said, I agree the shark wins - a bit bigger and does not need to breathe.

[Infinity Blade]

And a FAAAAAAR more specialized swimmer. Bad matchup IMHO.

[6f5e4d]

I say the bull shark wins for sure, since it doesn't need air and is more maneuverable in the water compared to the Komodo dragon.

[dinosauria101]

Okay, maybe I did overestimate the Komodo's swimming.

Shallower water would certainly be debatable.

[DonaldCengXiongAzuma]

Bull shark wins as it is a much better swimmer.

[Ceratodromeus]

There's literally not a thing the ora can do. What even is this

Komodo dragons are good swimmers,

I'm a pretty decent runner. can i take a leopard in a fight if one wanted to kill me? No.

[dinosauria101]

Okay, okay, I get it. Not a good idea.

This is surely debatable in shallow enough water though?

Komodo Dragon = terrestrial macropredator

Bull shark = marine macropredator

Illogical AvA thread. Locked.
