    The natural predator of the Komodo dragon is the Javan tiger.

    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.

    What food do Komodo dragons eat? As carnivores, Komodo dragons feed on wild boars, deer, monkeys, and forest snakes on the island, and sometimes prey on weak species and larvae, and occasionally attack humans or forage for human corpses, and by 2010, about 12 people had died from the venom from the bite wounds of monitor lizards.

    Habits:

    Komodo dragons prefer hot and dry places and usually inhabit dry, open grasslands, savannas, and low-altitude tropical forests. As a lizard, it is most active during the day, although it exhibits some nocturnal activity. Komodo dragons are solitary and will only gather together to breed and eat.

    They are able to run quickly in short sprints of 20 km/h, dive up to meters, and skillfully climb trees with strong paws at a young age. To catch untouchable prey, the Komodo dragon may stand on its hind legs with its tail as support. As it matures, its claws are mainly used as **, as its sheer size makes climbing impractical.

    A team of researchers from the University of Melbourne found a poisonous gland in a dead Komodo dragon, which can secrete a variety of toxic proteins, and these proteins inhibit blood clotting, muscle paralysis, blood pressure lowering and other symptoms, and eventually lead to the death of the poisoned person. After an animal is bitten, it will not stop bleeding as soon as possible, clean the wound, detoxify, and it is not difficult to understand that the mortality rate is very high, but humans are different, as long as they are not bitten to death on the spot, they can be treated with current medical treatment.

    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.

    After a human is bitten by a Komodo dragon, if it is not treated in any way, it will be directly life-threatening, because its mouth contains highly toxic and a large number of bacterial germs, which will play a coagulation role after fusing with the blood, and the poisoned person will gradually lose consciousness and die。The Komodo dragon is a very large animal, reaching 2 3 meters and weighing 90 kilograms when it reaches adulthood, and looks like an enhanced version of the ordinary lizard. Although this animal looks silly, it feeds on buffalo and wild boar, and its strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

    First of all, the buffalo looks stronger, and it stands to reason that it has a big advantage inside, so why can it be the prey of the Komodo dragon? The reason is simple, because Komodo lizards have toxins in their mouths. They will slowly approach their prey, then attack suddenly, injecting toxins into the prey if they bite the opponent, so that even the strongest prey will not last long before they are caught, which is somewhat similar to the poisonous tongue.

    Buffalo are still like this, and if a human is bitten, the consequences are really dire.

    Secondly, the Komodo dragon has two poisonous lines in its jaws, which is also one of its secrets**. You must know that the venom will secrete a very lethal venom, which can achieve coagulation after mixing with blood, and the poisoned person will first have difficulty breathing, and then gradually lose consciousness. In addition to this, the venom can also play a role in dilating blood vessels, so that the blood pressure of the prey will gradually decrease, and the rate of blood clotting will be accelerated.

    So once poisoned, the rate of death is very fast. After a human bite, it is not only necessary to deal with it, but also to deal with it in the first place.

    Finally, there are some prey that have antitoxin effects in their own right. At this time, the Komodo dragon has another secret**, and that is the bacteria in its mouth. It is important to know that Komodo dragons often eat rotten meat, which, combined with not cleaning their mouths, can contain a lot of bacteria and germs in their saliva.

    It doesn't hurt itself, but it's fatal to humans. Infections can occur after being bitten, and even the top kings of the forest, such as lions or tigers, are very afraid. While wound infections are not fatal to humans, they are by no means friendly.

    The Komodo dragon has several venom glands in its mouth, which secretes a venom similar to snake venom, which enters the human body when it bites, and then within a certain period of time, the human is poisoned. So it needs to be dealt with immediately.

    Komodo dragons are poisonous.

    The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard in the world, with an average body length of 2-3 meters, an average weight of 68-73 kg for males and 68-73 kg for females.

    Although the Komodo dragon does not have the fangs grooves common in other venomous reptiles, the hole key has its own unique venom delivery system, they will use sharp serrated teeth to pierce into the prey, and the venom glands will quietly infiltrate the prey's wound as the prey struggles to tremble, and in the process, the Komodo dragon will follow the prey until the prey dies, and then come forward to devour the prey.

    The habits of the Komodo dragon

    The Komodo dragon mainly inhabits Australia's tropical rainforests and surrounding open areas. They prefer to stay close to the water's edge so that they can feed on aquatic animals such as fish and crustaceans, and their strong jaws and sharp teeth allow them to easily crush the bones and shells of their prey. Komodo dragons are highly adaptable and survivable, able to adapt to various environments, such as deserts, jungles, grasslands, etc.

    Komodo dragons are cold-blooded and need to absorb solar energy to maintain their body temperature. They are generally active in the morning and evening, when the sun is not too strong, and during the day, they usually hide in the shade to avoid overheating. Komodo dragons have a very keen sense of smell and hearing, as well as good vision, they can camouflage by the color and perturbations of their bodies to hide from predators, and they can also further protect themselves by constantly standing and shrinking their bodies to reduce the area to be detected.
