Its scientific name is Varanus komodoensis and of the more than 5,600 species of lizards, the Komodo dragon is the largest on the planet, hence its legendary name.
It is a huge lizard, which can measure up to 10 feet long, with an average of around 8 feet for females. They weigh around 150 pounds. Due to the size, and aggressiveness of this lizard, in many cultures there are stories and legends about them.
Its color is grayish or light brown. Those who live in the desert sand have a similar color to it, combining well with their surroundings. In the body they have black or green areas.
Komodo dragons have sharp teeth in their mouths (60 of them). These teeth have been examined and experts believe they are of the same dimensions as those of large sharks. When the teeth fall off, for various reasons, this lizard is able to make them grow again, no matter how young or old it is at that moment.
It is believed that it evolved from the great reptiles of genus Varanus, who walked on Earth more than 200 million years ago. Many experts are curious about why this is one of only two species that produce poison.
Much about the evolution process of the komodo dragon remains a mystery, but there are many theories. It is believed that it used to be several times larger and, over time, it is possible that they were able to adapt, and that is why they continued to live when the dinosaurs became extinct.
It is the most aggressive type of lizard in the world. Iran after other animals, as well as humans. They have incredible power because of their large size, they also have amazing speed. They can climb, which is unusual for a lizard of such size. You can find them near water bodies, and they will even enter the water to get their prey. Their bodies are designed to be natural swimmers.
The Komodo National Park is made up of many small islands and this is where this lizard lives in the wild. They are able to continue to thrive under improper conditions, either for other creatures or for human beings. Many of them are in captivity, in zoos, because they attract large crowds.
The area where the Komodo dragon lives must be arid to do well. They can live in the forest or in the open savanna and do it better at temperatures that are around 40 degrees Celsius every day.
The area in which this lizard lives in the wild, is dry throughout the year, except for the monsoon season. These lizards need water to survive, and have the ability to store water when it rains, or when they enter the water to swim. When your body gets too hot, excrete salt instead of water.
He has an incredible sense of smell. Experts believe that they are able to smell up to six kilometers away if the wind blows in the right direction, this allows them to find their prey with ease. The combination of speed, powerful teeth, and strong venom means that they are almost always victorious when it comes to obtaining their prey.
Sometimes they limit themselves to biting the prey and it escapes, however, it will not be far behind it, they will wait for the poison to infect the prey and kill it. When they bite and cling to the prey, they inject the poison, while they feed the prey will be alive, but will not be able to move at all. They are able to bite large pieces of what they eat.
Part of the ability to do this is due to its flexible neck. Whenever possible the Komodo dragon will not even go hunting for a living food, they are content to consume a variety of decomposing remains, from the dead they stumble upon or smell.
They also consume birds, and the eggs they can find. It is not unusual for the Komodo dragon to consume other lizards as well. They are opportunists and eat when they can, to build the layers of fat necessary to survive in the time when food is scarce.
Although this lizard is considered, normally, very aggressive, this will increase as the mating season occurs. The males fight with each other, biting and using their tails, until one of them gives up. When a male approaches a female he will put his long tongue in his mouth.
This lets you know if it is ready for mating or not. When the mating takes place, the pair quickly separates and the mecho will go for a new adventure.
The female will have a great responsibility, she must find where to deposit up to 20 eggs. You have to find a warm place, where predators are less likely to find them. He leaves them there alone and fate will decide if they are able to survive the incubation. The young, when they arrive, have to be able to find food and shelter without any direction from the mother.
Due to their size, strength and the venom they produce, the Komodo dragon has no natural predators. However, they are often trapped and killed by humans. There is a strong hatred towards this species of lizard among many of the people who live around it. Nobody wants to take the risk of being bitten by a komodo dragon.
The thrill of hunting is exciting for an athlete. They often travel to remote areas to hunt this lizard. The villagers accept money in exchange for helping them to do so and, despite the fact that hunting is illegal, it continues.
