Komodo Dragons and Decomposed Prey

Komodo dragons may regurgitate prey that has begun to rot or decompose after consuming it. If they ingest carrion or spoiled meat, they might vomit it due to the unpleasant odor and the potential health risks associated with eating decayed food. This behavior is part of their survival strategy, helping them avoid consuming harmful substances that could lead to illness. Additionally, regurgitating decomposed prey helps them maintain a healthier diet and reduces the risk of attracting unwa
nted predators or scavengers to their location.
