Information

In some way the Komodo Dragon is a living dinosaur. It is the world's largest monitor lizard and it can grow up to 10 feet in length and weith 300 pounds. It's lifespan is also impressive at over 100 years. The Komodo is like a snake because it can separate it's lower jaw to allow it to eat big prey. It is known to eat small deer, cows, wild boars and even people from time to time. When there is no food around komodos' will eat each other. Today the komodo is endangered and lives on Komodo Island, properly named after it. It is also found in the Sundra Islands in Indonesia. It got there by swimming over. You heard me, this thing can swim from island to island looking for food. Farmers on remote south pacific islands complain that it eats many of their cattle which are helpless from this modern day monster. The Komodo bites into it's prey and releases a venom that slowly kills the beast preparing it for the Komodo's final attack.

Thought to have been stranded after the last Ice Age in small pockets of the Indonesian archipelago, the leviathan lizard was discovered only in 1911. The largest ever measured was 10 feet 2.5 inches. He, or rather she (named Minnie) was put on display in St Louis during the 30's. These 'living dinosaurs' can swim, sprint at up to 30km/h for short distances and climb trees. The Komodo Dragon as a meat eating reptile has an incredible sense of smell. They are able to smell things very far away and reach the scent as quickly as possible. When they arrive at a fresh kill, they are able to consume half of their body weight in 20 minutes. Their deadly saliva and hinged jaws, like those found in an egg eating snake, enable them to consume prey as quickly as possible.
