3. Text 3: Komodo Dragon
Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the
scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian islands.
Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The
largest Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long and weighed 366
pounds (166 kg) but the average size of komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long
and 200 pounds (91 kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a muscular tail.
They use their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal remains from several miles
away. They also hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon's teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it
feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria. The bacteria that live in
the Komodo dragon's saliva causes septicemia, or blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon
will bite its prey, then follow it until the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and habitat loss.
