Yes Komodo Dragons are very deadly predators. They have a very powerful bite and they have a nasty "venom" which is deadly bacteria in their saliva and when the prey is bitten, the saliva works on to the wound and easily kill the prey.
Komodo dragons are found in tropical savanna forests, but range widely over the islands, from beach to ridge tops. They escape the heat of the day and seek refuge at night in burrows that are barely big enough for them.
The Komodo dragon can be found on Indonesian Islands and in zoos. They scavenge for food on dead animals, or things like water buffalo, goats, and deer.
It is very hot,dry, and dense.
A lizard is not a niche, it is an organism. Organisms require an environmental niche in order to survive. Most lizards eat insects, many of them live in dry or semi-arid climates, and that would be their niche. The Komodo Dragon has a different niche, being a much larger type of lizard. It eats larger animals. It has a predatory niche.

This site is very interesting, it also has your answer, (excerpts and the site):The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), also known as the Komodo Monitor, Komodo Island Monitor, Ora (to the natives of Komodo), or simply Komodo, is a species of lizard which inhabits the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Gili Dasami in central Indonesia. A member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae, and the clade Toxicofera, the Komodo is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2-3 metres (approximately 6.5-10 feet). This great length is attributed to island gigantism, as there are no carnivorous mammals to fill the niche in the islands that they live on, and the Komodo dragon's low metabolic rate. As a result of their great size, these lizards are apex predators, dominating the ecosystems in which they live. Megalania is an extinct giant monitor lizard. It was one of the megafauna that roamed southern Australia, and appears to have become extinct around 40,000 years ago. It was once thought to belong to a distinct monotypic genus and called Megalania prisca, (Greek "great" + "roam", "in reference to the terrestrial nature of the great Saurian" (Owen, 1859)). Its placement as a valid genus remains controversial, with many authors preferring sinking the genus into Varanus (Molnar, 2004), which encompasses all living monitor lizards. The first aboriginal settlers of Australia would certainly have encountered living Megalania.* http://www.dragonsguide.com/
Niche (did a quiz with this so i know its right) ;D
No. The fundemental niche is the largest possible niche a population can exist in. If the realized niche becomes larger so does the fundemental niche
the niche is in the forest up in the trees. the niche is in the forest up in the trees. the niche is in the forest up in the trees. the niche is in the forest up in the trees. the niche is in the forest up in the trees.
Niche in Tagalog translates to "sa panulok," which means a specific segment or market that a product or service is targeting.
A niche is an organism's way of life within an ecosystem. This differs from a habitat, which is only the place where an organism lives.
The niche is blank.
