Komodo, the largest lizard in the world

Komodo, the largest lizard in the world

Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world, originating from several islands in Indonesia, including Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang in Komodo National Park. This giant reptile can grow up to 3 meters in length and weigh up to 90 kilograms. 

Komodo dragons are famous for their strong bodies, sharp claws, and serrated teeth which they use to prey on animals such as deer, wild boar, and even buffalo. Despite their large size and strength, they are also scavengers. Komodo dragons' saliva contains toxic bacteria, and recent research shows that they also have poison glands that help paralyze their prey by causing severe bleeding and shock. 

As apex predators, Komodo dragons are solitary animals that only gather during the mating season. They are skilled hunters, using ambush tactics to catch their prey. The Komodo dragon's reputation as a fierce predator and its unique evolutionary traits make it one of the most interesting creatures in the animal kingdom. 

Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and conservation efforts are underway to protect these species as they are considered vulnerable to habitat loss and human activity. Park visitors can witness these magnificent reptiles in their natural habitat, but with strict rules to ensure visitor safety and species preservation.
