Where do Komodo dragons live?

Komodo Island and several neighboring islands in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. Endangered, it is now listed as a protected object. It can reach lengths of up to 3 meters (10 feet), weigh about 135 kilograms (300 pounds), live for about 100 years, and can dig holes up to 9 meters deep.

The larvae live in trees for several months. Adults eat larvae of the same kind and sometimes other adults. Able to move quickly, occasionally attacking humans.

But it feeds mainly on carrion. Every day, they go out of the cave to forage for food several kilometers away.

The Komodo dragon is the largest lizard in existence and can be found on some small islands in Indonesia. The largest of these islands is only 32 kilometers long and 19 kilometers wide. The Komodo dragon is a giant lizard.

Adult male Komodo dragons are about 3 meters long and weigh 136 kilograms.

Komodo dragons are generally about 3 meters long, if the male weighs more than 90 kilograms, and the female weighs more than 50 kilograms, there are generally individual Komodo dragons that can reach meters in length.

Komodo dragons are not edible. The Komodo dragon is endangered, with only about 3,000 of them left in the wild, which is an endangered species and is prohibited by law.

The Komodo dragon is an ordinary member of the monitor lizard family, which is quite distant from the dinosaurs, and its large size is mainly due to the special island environment. Today, they only inhabit Komodo Island and four nearby islands in Indonesia, with a wild population of only about 3,000 individuals. Since there were no other ferocious birds and beasts on these islands, the Komodo dragon evolved into a local overlord.

Juvenile monitor lizards mainly feed on invertebrates, frogs, lizards and small birds, while adult monitor lizards prey on large and medium-sized crooked mammals such as wild boars, deer and buffalo.

The Komodo dragon has almost no natural predators, and Komodo's only natural predator is the Javan tiger, but due to the extinction of the Javan tiger due to overhunting by humans, the Komodo dragon has no natural predators.

The Komodo dragon is a formidable and feared species, with a very large number of bacteria in the mouth and venomous glands in the lower jaw, any animal that is bitten will die due to bacterial infection or viral attacks, so it is a very dangerous animal and has few natural predators in nature.

As a carnivore, the Komodo dragon feeds on wild boars, deer, monkeys, and forest snakes on the island, and sometimes preys on weak species and larvae.

The Komodo dragon lives on Komodo Island and several neighboring islands, there are no other giant carnivores on the island, adult Komodo dragons have no natural predators due to their large size and saliva containing deadly bacteria, but juvenile Komodo dragons are mostly preyed on by adult monitor lizards.

Although hippos are herbivores, they are large and have a bad personality, and no predator will attempt to attack them, except for lonely and helpless juvenile hippos.

Large carnivores, on the other hand, know how to avoid each other, and unless there is competition for food, it is not worth it to fight each other and get injured.

On Komodo Island, the Komodo dragon has no natural predators, but guess that if the Komodo dragon is put into Africa, there may be natural enemies, because the African Nile crocodile is five meters long and weighs a ton, and can easily kill monitor lizards, so it can only be said that it is the most powerful animal on the island where the Komodo dragon is located.

The Komodo dragon itself is at the top of the food chain, and if there is a natural predator for this, it is humans. Monitor lizards can even be preyed upon by king cobras.

This == they can't be met, how to compare? Pythons and crocodiles are most likely. For Komodo Jr., adult Komodo are the biggest threat [even their own parents], and in order to reduce the number of competitors, adult Komodo dragons will eat Komodo Jr.

There are really no natural predators on Komodo Island, and the venom of the Komodo dragon is actually just a poisonous bacterium in its saliva, and the Komodo dragon itself is not afraid of this, and no matter what poisonous animal, especially an animal with venom in the mouth, will not be killed by its own venom, for example, it is common for snakes to scratch their mouths when they swallow animals.

Komodo Island and several neighboring islands in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia.

Is the "saliva" of the Komodo dragon poisonous? The truth is so surprising!
