THIS is the moment a komodo dragon guzzles down a monkey’s whole body in gruesome footage circulating online.
In the clip, the enormous lizard can be seen swallowing a large monkey as it takes shelter from the sun’s rays.
The monkey’s legs dangle helplessly from the dragon’s mouth as it slowly takes increasingly large gulps of the hapless primate.
With the dragon’s head swaying from side to side, the monkey’s body descends further into the creature’s mouth.
Finally, the clip ends with little more than the monkey’s feet visible as the triumphant dragon looks directly at the camera.
It is not known where the video was filmed but wild komodo dragons only live on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Padar.
The footage was shared on social media site Reddit this week, racking up over 700,000 views and thousands of comments.
And observers were quick to share their concern at the disturbing clip.
“Well from the size of that monkey it will at least eat children for sure,” one wrote.
Another said: “That thing has got to have an insane digestive system.”
While another simply wrote: “Godzilla vs King Kong.”
The komodo dragon is the largest living species of lizard – growing up to 10ft long.
Last year, one was seen hiding in a man’s toilet before leaving a poo on the floor as it left.
The entire monkey. Is that like “the whole enchilada”?
I had a Komodo Dragon bite my sister once.
Has Donald seen this ? Does he approve ?
I suspect someone fed the Komodo Dragon the monkey in order to make a video.
Will this be on The Gorilla Channel?
Wasn’t on the Gorilla Channel.
My sister bit a komodo dragon while riding a moose.

Is this a passage from Michael Wolff’s book? Ya know, the monkey-lizard channel Trump likes to watch 17 hours a day at the White House?
Without a stuned beeber that is not possible.
Was this on the Gorilla Channel? Does anyone have the times?
Shouldn’t have poked him with that stick.
