Photographer Julia Sundukova captured a brutal scene on a remote Indonesian island where two Komodo dragons hunted and killed a goat. After tearing it apart, a third dragon joined in to share the meal. The island’s wild dragons have become more accustomed to humans due to people feeding them. However, the increasing number of dragons on the island has resulted in a lack of prey, leading to their inability to hunt properly. Sundukova observed an astonishing transformation in the dragons’ behavior when they saw the goat, becoming savage and stunning in their attack. Despite being a challenging sight to witness, the power of these predators was on full display as they overpowered the helpless goat.
