Komodo dragons are the largest lizards on Earth, capable of reaching up to 10 feet in length. They have sharp serrated teeth and powerful jaws.
These incredible reptiles have a keen sense of smell and can detect carrion from up to 5 kilometers away. They are skilled hunters and scavengers.
Komodo dragons have a unique way of killing their prey. They use their strong tails to knock down animals and their venomous bite to weaken them.
Despite their ferocious reputation, Komodo dragons are excellent swimmers and can cross large bodies of water to reach other islands in search of food.
Female Komodo dragons can reproduce without a male through a process called parthenogenesis. This adaptation helps ensure survival in isolated environments.
Komodo National Park in Indonesia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the natural habitat of these fascinating creatures. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect them.
