I made a search for this

Komodo Dragon versus Crocodile

And here is what it says in the

"People ask"
"Can a Komodo dragon kill a crocodile?"

Quote:
A Komodo dragon wouldn't have a chance against, say, an adult saltwater crocodile, but it could easily take down an adult dwarf crocodile. The K.D. has bacterial poison in its mouth and it's supposed to kill the prey with only one bite

the 4!000 lb. croc would win. The ''somewhat' venomous komdo monitor probably could'nt get its teeth thru the croc's hide.

I'd say it depends on the specifics.
Is the Komodo one that got nuclear fall out and became GODZILLA like?
Has the Croc suffered from a long swim and is weakened?
What are the weight classes?

I think Aktung has the right of it: the dragon would need to quickly get a bite of a soft underpart... then retreat and let the poison work

There'd be no mileage in a close up brawl... I just don't think these two animals would know how to fight one another... chalk and cheese... although once the croc got a hold then it would just spin and tear, maybe even get a hold of the throat and suffocate it

My money's on the croc

there are no 'specifics'; the adult croc like the great white is simply a top-end predator without competitors. (Actually not true: a great white was caught on video being chomped in half by a killer whale for its liver! )Crocs tend to chomp, drown, and store in a nearby riverbank den till it rots for easy dining(aged beef!?) And crocs can out run a horse fo the first hundred yards or so!
