Komodo Dragons. There are over a thousand of them on the island. They can reach a length of 10-feet, outrun a human, and they have over 50 different forms of bacteria in their mouth, so one bite infects and kills a water buffalo in a few days, and they eat the whole thing bones and all but not the horns.
Edit: (added) Photos were taken yesterday on a guided hike. .
