The Komodo Dragon has one heart, which has three different chambers the left atrium, right atrium, and ventricle.
Komodo dragons, though large and fearsome, face many dangers. One of the main reasons for their declining population is the fact that they live in areas constantly beset by natural disasters such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis. Natural disasters diminish numbers of the dragons' prey, leaving them with less food. Illegal poaching of Komodo dragons and their eggs has also resulted in fewer dragons remaining alive, while human encroachment leading to habitat destruction has resulted in less shelter for komodo dragons.

Well, it is technically not a Dragon, the name just says 'Dragon' in it because the Komodo Dragon is one of the larger reptiles on Earth. The Komodo dragon is the largest monitor lizard species, but is smaller than crocodiles and alligators, and many large snakes such as pythons and anacondas. Komodo "Dragons" are not really dragons at all. They're just hyperbolically-named lizards.
The male and female mate and the female lays eggs. I'm not sure how many are layed at a time though. Possibly ten or more.
There are no kimodo dragons in the Galapagos islands, but there are many species of reptiles: both endemic and native.
