Komodo dragon

Hello everyone, do you know what the largest lizard on the planet is, do you know what it eats, how large it is because I am going to answer these questions and tell you some interesting facts at the same time .

The komodo dragon lives in the Lesser Sunder islands on the coast of Indonesia or at the komodo islands also in the coast of Indonesia .

The komodo dragons diet is birds, bird eggs, other reptiles and some mammals like deer and goats .They find their prey by sniffing for them and then they strike by biting the prey’s leg if it is a large animal .

 The komodo dragon was discovered somewhere in between 1910 and 1912 but it is unknown .It was said that a pilot crashed after WW1 and swam to the komodo islands and found the komodo dragon, but we are unsure if this is really true .

You may be asking me if the komodo dragon is dangerous, it is. It is a carnivore as I said when I talked about the komodo dragons diet so do not come near if this ferocious lizard is hungry it may be better just to stay where you are, trust me .

Right now I am going to tell you what this dangerous lizard weighs and how long it is. The komodo dragon reaches up to 3.15 meters long and an average of 70kg but at the most 165kg wow! The komodo dragons sharp teeth can grow up to 1cm and usually the komodo dragons tail is as long as its body, also it has a bright yellow forked tongue .

Right now I will tell you some interesting facts about the komodo dragon. The komodo dragon surprisingly is a very good swimmer to go from island to island in search of food, also the komodo dragon can eat 80% of its body weight in just one meal, crazy right. Also the komodo dragon has only killed a tiny 4 people since the 1970s
