 The reading passage asserts that the Komodo dragon's hunting technique is based on enormous amount of bacterial in there mouth. The passage gives three reasons to support that bacteria hypothesis. The professor suggest another hypothesis based on a specialized type of venom with disputing three reasons. First, the reading passage claims that massive bacterial load in their saliva cause death of hunting target. The professor counterargue which that opinion for some reasons. Bacteria hypothesis only has estimations based on visual effects, unlike venom hypothesis has actual physical evidence. Medical scanner find out that the Komodo dragon's skull has teeth structure which are optimized to use venom. Next, the article gives the fact that the Komodo dragon's mouth are full of bad bacteria. The listening also disagree with this evidence. Many reptiles have dirty mouth, so that insistence can not be an real evidence. Those bacteria in the Komodo dragon's mouth is even not natural attribute, since most mouth bacteria comes from environment. more wild animal more bacteria. The truth that the animal bitten by the Komodo dragon try to find water also disprove that argument, because wild water pond has even more bacteria. Lastly, the reading passage urges that the Komodo dragon utilize their bacteria to hunt a prey larger than usual targets.
