Research suggests that the ancestor of the komodo dragon was the now-extinct Australian dragon Megalania, which averaged 7 metres in length. The Megalania was basically a giant goanna (monitor lizard) weighing an average of 600kg, although research on this seems to conflict, with some studies suggesting the Megalania was around 4.5m in length, with an average weight of 300 kg.
It was believed to have thickset front and hind legs, and a solid body, while its fairly large skull had a crest between the eyes. It had extremely sharp, serrated teeth.

If a person is in the possession of a Komodo Dragon the authorities should be called immediately. The Komodo Dragon is considered an endangered species and is illegal to own outside of a state regulated zoo.

The Komodo dragon is the world's largest lizard, reaching a length of up to 3.15m or over ten feet, and weighing an average of 70kg, although some have been known to weigh up to 165kg, or 365 pounds. The tail of a Komodo dragon is usually as long as its body. Its sharp, jagged teeth can be as long as 1cm each, and unlike other lizards, it has a long, forked tongue which is bright yellow. Young komodo dragons are coloured yellow, green, brown or grey and sometimes they are often speckled and banded. Adult dragons are either earthy red in colour, greyish or black. Their bodies are covered with rough, thick and tough scaly skin.
Well, the closest you shall get to is the Bearded Dragon found in China and that region. ------------------- There is also a dragon-like lizard called a Komodo Dragon.
