I don't like how the comments focus only on Matpat, let's just take a moment to appreciate all the staff behind that despite having different work styles and ideas come together to provide cohesive content for us, thank you to all Team Theorist for mantaining consistent quality uploads in the 5 channels

It should be mentioned that, for quite a long time, the Komodo dragon’s deadly bite was actually quite a mystery. The inside of the lizard’s mouth is so full of dangerous bacteria and stuff that we couldn’t tell if it was the venom or illness that was deadlier and thus the true power of their bite. It was only relatively recently that we gained the technology to look into their venom better and discover that, although the germs in the Komodo dragon’s mouth are certainly strong enough to cause fatal illness, the venom is much worse.

Did they literally just get the live action thumbnail to a two year old video?

HTTYD actually acknowledges the gas build up into fire breath as something dragons do. In the first movie, after hiccup and Toothless fly for the first time, a type of dragon called terrible terrors start to spit fire at toothless by building up gas into their mouth. But tootless shoots a small spark into the mouth before the dragon is ready, causing the gas to explode in the dragon's mouth. They show that because it sets up the ending of the final battle, where hiccup and toothless use the same trick to beat the red death (the big bad dragon).
