BBC’s nature documentary Spy in the Wild uses cameras built into lifelike models to infiltrate wild packs of animals. One of their cameras was smashed to pieces when a Komodo Dragon attempted to have sex with it.
The camera was reportedly posed to look like a pig. Executive John Downer told The Sun: “With its massive claws this dragon starts raking at the skin of the ‘female’, and there’s nothing you can do because you can’t intervene.”
The Komodo Dragon did not stop even when the pig did not respond do the violent seduction technique and eventually began to destroy it.
Downer explained that “this pig, with all our equipment in it, was in the wrong place at the wrong time and they just annihilated it. It was breeding season and they’d been riled up by fighting over this female and testosterone gets the worst of us. They were like dinosaurs, it was just unbelievable, it was totally smashed to pieces.”
