What are facts about a komodo dragon?
Komodo dragons are not dragons. They are members of the monitor lizard family. Komodo dragons are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat. They stalk live prey, and they are also scavengers, feeding on carrion, or the carcasses of dead animals. They feed on a range of large animals, including monkeys, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, goats, snakes, livestock such as sheep and cattle. Komodo dragons are cannibalistic, and adults will prey on young ones as well as old and sick dragons. Other dragons may make up to 10% of a dragon's diet. They have been known to stalk human beings. Young, newly-hatched komodo dragons feed entirely on insects, but as they grow older, they begin to feed on larger prey such as lizards, birds and small mammals such as rodents. Juvenile komodo dragons also eat eggs. Because the young are at risk of being eaten by the adults, they are able to climb trees. This is where they may spend the first year or so of their life, safe from predatoe.

WHEN was the komodo dragon first discovered?
There is a story that the Komodo dragon was only discovered after WW1, when an aircraft came down in the waters around the islands, and the surviving pilot swam to Komodo Island. This is not quite true. It is unknown when, exactly, the Komodo dragon was discovered, but the earliest reports seem to be from around 1910-1912, and they came from pearlers and fishermen. The existence of the Komodo dragon was not actually verified until 1926, when W. Douglas Burden, representing the American Museum of Natural history, led an expedition to Komodo, and returned with 12 preserved specimens and 2 living komodo dragons.
