This is the world's
largest monitor lizard, varanus Komodoensies, when full grown it
measures up to 3.13 meters (10feet 2 inches) in
length and weight anything up to 165.9kg (365pounds). They
are fearsome creatures with enormous jaws, squat muscular
legs and sharp claws.
Preying on live deer, goats and wild pigs, they lie
in wait hidden in the long grass. Young dragons
spend most of their time in trees but dragons over 1.5m
long can not climb well. Dragons over 2 meters are too
heavy to climb trees. Komodo dragons are constantly
regulating their body temperatures. In the early morning,
they must warm-up their bodies in the sun. If their body
temperature drops too low, the food in their stomach can
rot and cause regurgitation or even death.
