Komodo Dragon

Komodo Dragon


This animal is the largest of all lizards, the Komodo dragon is a powerful reptile that weighs up to 300 pounds and can reach a length of more than 10 feet. It multiple predatory advantages: speed, strength and can bring down prey species twice its size. They also have a toxic bite; any victim that survives a Komodo dragon attack is likely to give way to their wounds soon after. Komodos mainly hunt by trapping their prey, but they are also fast runners and good swimmers. Their incredible predatory skills are matched by an equally impressive ability to consume meat, up to half their own body weight in a single meal. But unfortunately it doesnt benefit any other organism.
