Komodo dragons adapt to island life by evolving smaller body sizes, reduced metabolic rates, and a varied diet of prey available on the islands.
Isolation on islands has led Komodo dragons to develop unique behaviors like cannibalism and parthenogenesis, allowing them to thrive in challenging environments.
Komodo dragons have venomous bites that aid in hunting and defense, along with a keen sense of smell to locate food sources across the rugged island terrain.
The harsh island conditions have shaped the Komodo dragon's ability to swim between islands, expanding their territory and increasing genetic diversity for survival.
Despite facing threats like habitat loss and human encroachment, conservation efforts aim to protect the iconic Komodo dragon species and their island ecosystems.
