Komodo Dragons have scaly skin to survive hot and humid weather. They have Bluish-Purple tongues which have a type of poison to kill prey. Its claws scratch and attack. Also it is camouflaged in its natural habitat. It can run up to 30 mph in short bursts but most of the time conserves energy to maintain its body heat. It uses burrows to keep its body temperature down
Komodo dragons are adapted to be powerful predators. These lizards can reach lengths of 10 feet and weigh up to 300 pounds. They are only found living wild in Indonesia. They are very aggressive meat eaters and are known to take down animals as big as deer. Their jaws work so hard that the Komodo dragon grows four new sets of teeth per year. The dragon will often bite its prey and then lurk in the shadows until it dies. The Komodo dragon will then use its giant claws and powerful jaws to rip apart the prey, swallowing chunks of meat whole. Usually, when a Komodo Dragon attacks, it usually ambushes it's prey and lunges at its prey's throat first. One Komodo was recorded consuming 85% of its body weight in one sitting. There are only 5,000 Komodo dragons living in the wild.

Is the komodo dragon poisonous?

The Komodo dragon has a very dangerous bite, and it is venomous (not poisonous). For years it was believed that the danger of a Komodo dragon's bite was due not to venom, but to bacteria that live on its teeth. Recent research, however, has discovered that the bite of the Komodo dragon delivers a powerful venom which actually thins the blood, increasing blood flow and creating a state of shock in the victim. The sharp, serrated teeth of a komodo dragon are used to open a gaping wound in its prey, enabling the venom to flow easily. The discovery of venom glands in the Komodo dragon challenges the previous assumption that fatal bites were due to the consumption of carrion (rotting things), and the resultant growth of toxic bacteria in the mouths of the lizards. Infections by these organisms would still be a serious factor in treating a bite wound. Komodo dragons do not usually attack people, preferring other game such as deer. But there are documented cases of them stalking and killing human beings.
