Comodo dragons are the most heaviest lizards on earth.
One Komodo dragon can reach up to 10 feet ( about half as tall as a giraffe) in length and weigh more than 300 pounds (that's 0.32 times the weight of a horse).
.
Komodo dragons eat anything flesh and there is nothing that looks like flesh that they can't eat. They rob graves and eat dead bodies. In 2009, one man fell off an apple tree and fainted. Two Komodo dragons devoured him before he could wake up.
.
Komodos clear of the carcasses left over by lions and other carnivores and they even eat their own babies. That's why hatchlings (baby Komodo dragons) hide on the tree or roll in shit so adult Komodos can perceive them to be too smelly to eat.
.
Komodos are venomous. A prey bitten by a Komodo is weakened by the excess toxins introduced into its body system through the bite. The toxins cause massive bleeding, lower blood pressure, prevent blood-clotting, and supplies heavy shock.
.
Any animal bitten by Komodos can't survive for long even if it escapes from the jaws of the Komodos. So, as brilliant hunters, the Komodos use smell to track the prey, find it where it ran to and finish it off there.
.
Female Komodo dragons don't necessarily need the males to reproduce.
