Its mouth isn't that big, but it could definitely take a huge bite out of something! I believe the way they normally kill large prey is by biting it and letting it go. They live on islands, so the animal can't get too very far away before dying in a few days from the bacteria in the mouth of the Komodo. Sooner or later one of the Komodos finds an animal one of them has killed-- it wouldn't be an efficient technique any where else.
