 The komodo dragon lives in forest and deserts in Indonesia.
 In the wild, an adult Komodo dragon usually weighs around 70 kg.According
to the Guinness Book of World Records, an average adult male will weigh
79 to 91 kg and measure 2.59 m, while an average female will weigh 68 to 73
kg and measure 2.29 m.The largest verified wild specimen was 3.13 m long
and weighed 166 kg, including undigested food.The Komodo dragon has a
tail as long as its body, as well as about 60 frequently replaced, serrated teeth
that can measure up to 2.5 cm in length. Its saliva is frequently blood-tinged,
because its teeth are almost completely covered by gingival tissue that is
naturally lacerated during feeding.This creates an ideal culture for the
bacteria that live in its mouth. It also has a long, yellow, deeply forked tongue.
Komodo dragon skin is reinforced by armoured scales, which contain tiny
bones called osteoderms that function as a sort of natural chain-mail.This
rugged hide makes Komodo dragon skin poorly suited for making into
leather.
 The Komodo Dragon is a Carnivore, which is an animal that only eats
meat.An example of some animals they eat are: Pigs, sometimes attacks
wild buffalo, carrion, deer, smaller dragons and humans.
 The female Komodo Dragon lays between 15 to 30 eggs in the sand.
They will stay there during the incubation period of 8 to 9 months the
birth is a very critical moment for the baby dragons as they are very
small and they have many predators.
 The babies measure about 30 centimetres and they will get their sexual
maturity around 6 to 10 years old.
 The babies will eat insects, eggs, birds to grow up.
 Mature and fully grow Komodo Dragons have no predators except for
humans.
 The top speed they can reach is 18kph
 Only found on five Indonesian islands!
 Komodo dragon mothers will also build decoy nests to confuse
predators and keep her eggs safe.
